Paisley Halloween Festival parade returns

In celebration of its 10-year anniversary, the free-to-attend Paisley Halloween Festival returns for 2024 with a spooktacular, 300-strong parade.

A woman holds flaming batons in the centre of a group of fire performers on a street at night Expect to see a ghostly pirate ship, glowing jellyfish, towering puppets, bubble-blowing witches, cowboy zombies, stilt-walking trees and loads more during the one-hour parade which kicks off at 7pm on Friday 25 October and Saturday 26 October.

As the parade winds its way along a brand-new route taking in Mill Street for the first-time, there will be plenty of great viewing spots across the town centre as well as a limited number of ticketed grandstand seats offering a fantastic premium view of the parade.

Grandstand tickets are £15 per person and can be purchased online at www.paisley.is from Thursday 19 September. Remember, there are only a small number of tickets available so book quickly to bag your seat!

As the town gets in to the spooky spirit for the evening parade, for those wanting to join in the fun but not able to stay for the main event there is plenty of daytime entertainment to enjoy from 4pm on Friday and 2pm on Saturday.

Look out for live performances on the stage at Bridge Street and County Square plus eerie lighting displays on some of the town's most iconic buildings.  

In another change to the festival this year, the popular funfair will be relocated to the Lagoon Car Park and East End Park offering plenty of opportunities to keep the kiddies entertained.
