The Independence Chamber of Commerce hosts the longest-running Halloween parade in the Kansas City area each year on the Saturday before or on Halloween (if on a Saturday).The parade begins at 10 a.m. on the Historic Independence Square. Each year, the parade entertains several thousand spectators from the area. The parade floats include school marching bands, community organizations, dance studios, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles, tractors, classic cars, and clever costumes.
The parade follows a familiar route that rolls through the Square. It begins on Walnut Avenue near Pleasant Street and goes east to Main Street. At Main Street, it goes north for two blocks, then west for three blocks on Lexington Avenue, back to Spring. At that point, the parade turns north on Spring and goes several blocks (past Truman Road), then veers to the northwest on Bess Truman Parkway and ends at McCoy Park.
