It’s the most ghoulish time of the year, and there’s no better way to celebrate than marching through East Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­in your most spooktacular apparel.

An annual affair, the Parade of Lost Souls offers the chance to join a jovial procession down Commercial Drive that makes its way through the neighbourhood. In keeping with decades-old tradition, however, the exact parade route will be kept a well-guarded secret, announced the midnight before the event.

The parade is free, but it is run by a non-profit organization and donations are encouraged.

Following the parade, event-goers can head to the after-party at the WISE Hall. The popular event is 19-plus and has a marine theme this year. There will be DJs and live performances through the night.

The fun begins on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m.
