Ocean City’s annual Halloween Parade

OCEAN CITY – The Exchange Club of Ocean City presented the annual Ocean City Halloween Parade Oct. 30 on Asbury Avenue.

Although rains pelted America’s Greatest Family Resort during the day, by evening Ocean City was clear.

The parade featured marching bands, floats, dance companies, civic organizations, fire trucks and scores of costumed marchers.

Spectators, most of them families with young children, filled the sidewalks along the parade route on Asbury Avenue as participants in the parade handed out candy to the kids along the route and tossed bagfuls of candy from the fire trucks and floats.
