Beggars' Night
and Halloween Parade
Brought to you by Main Street Greenville, The Early Bird, downtown
Greenville businesses, and surrounding local businesses.
On Thursday, October 27th, downtown Greenville will be transformed into

Early Bird, Main Street Greenville and downtown businesses are pleased
to bring this safe Halloween event to the community!
There are many ways to join in the fun, including a costume contest and
costume parade provided by The Early Bird. Anyone who chooses to enter
the costume contest will walk in this parade, from W. 5th Street (next
to Wayne Cinema), down Broadway and finish at the circle. The costume
judging will take place at the circle.
Cash prizes will be awarded in each of the seven categories of
costumes, with first place winning $30, second place winning $20 and
third place winning $10!

3. Masked Girls - ages 6-10
4. Masked Boys - ages 6-10
5. Masked Boys & Girls - ages 11-16

Schedule of events:

- next to Wayne Cinema
7:00 pm - Costume Contest Parade begins
After costume judging (approx. 7:45) - Beggars' begin trick-or-treating!
The “begging” and luminary event has been organized as a way for
downtown businesses to say thank you to the community for doing
business downtown.
Please no political campaigning. We ask that each participating
business pass out kid-friendly items and not handouts or flyers.
