Emlenton’s Halloween festivities took place on Saturday afternoon, with the town’s annual parade kicking off a day of family-friendly fun.
The event, held a day after Halloween, featured a colorful costume parade along a block of Main Street, which was closed to traffic for the occasion.
The Emlenton Civic Club organized the parade and hosted several activities, including a performance by the Dancing Witches of Emlenton and a “Ghost Cafe” offering refreshments.
Children in creative costumes paraded past three judges — Mayor Judy Lents, council member Amy Whitehill, and former Allegheny-Clarion Valley art teacher Anita Allen, who awarded prizes in categories that included funniest, scariest, duo/group and homemade costumes.
After the parade, the festivities continued with boroughwide trick-or-treating.
