Chicago Halloween 2011 has come and gone.  It has been an amazing ride from creating this site and sharing as much information about events, costumes, haunted houses, etc as we could to enjoying as much of the holiday fun as possible.  We celebrated all weekend long as we are sure most of you did, too.  And there was absolutely no way we were going to miss the Northhalsted Halloween Parade on October 31st.  We go every year and it is always the perfect way to say good-bye to Halloween.  Below are some photos from the parade and some of our favorite costumes from the night.  Did you see any great costumes during the Halloween weekend?  Anything you want to share?  We would love to see your favorite ones, too.  Email us at:  info@chicagohalloween.org and we will do one last post in honor of all of our fans and readers showing your photos from Chicago Halloween 2011.  We can’t wait to see them!

Although we have all been celebrating the holiday for a few days already, today officially marks Halloween which means that there is still plenty of time left to celebrate this Spooktacular day!  Chicago Halloween Events wants you to party like a rockstar tonight….
