Free Costumes for Children this weekend thanks to EP Parks & Rec

Trick or treating is back on in the Borderland! After a year of uncertainty, thanks to El Paso reaching herd immunity, Halloween festivities can resume across the Sun City as they have before. If your child is excited for the trick or treating part but is still missing a costume, the El Paso Parks and Recreation department can help you with that.

On Saturday, October 23rd, the El Paso Parks and Recreation department will be hosting a fee costume giveaway at Pavo Real Recreation Center at 9301 Alameda Ave and at Armijo Park at 710 E. 7th Ave. Starting at 10 A.M., your child could have a new costume to debut on Halloween all thanks to donations from both Districts 6 and 8, Technimark, Marathon Petroleum and the Aguilar Family Foundation.

After your child receives a costume, debut that new costume out at our 36th annual Halloween Parade!

On Sunday, October 31st, 2021 we along with One Source Federal Credit Union invite you and all your ghouls to join us back at Album Park for the 36th Annual KLAQ Halloween parade!

This year, Halloween is on a Sunday, so we are moving up the time at 2 pm, so plan to get there early.

We will once again be hosting costume contests at the Halloween parade you don't want to miss out on. If you want to be able to show off your costume for a chance to win prizes, you must sign up to walk in the KLAQ Halloween parade. You can fill out a form here.

You will be able to compete for chances to win prizes in the rock n' drive category, the business float category, and the walkers in the parade. Anyone who wants to participate, as mentioned early must sign up before or the day of.

So get your child a new costume this Saturday at either the Pavo Real Recreation Center or at Armijo Park and join us for our 36th annual Halloween Parade! Happy hauntings!
