Costume Contest
Shockholm loves costumes – the bold, the spooky, the silly and the strange. Our costume contests are open to everyone and judged live on stage at the end of the parade. Whether you're marching solo, with your family, your friends or even your dog – you've got a chance to win. Big effort or small detail, it’s all about creativity, heart and Halloween spirit. Photographers and media will be on site, and we’ll feature some of our favorite costumes on Shockholm’s social media and website. Want to be seen? Bring your A-game and your best pose.
Win spooky, spectacular rewards — from travel escapes to once-in-a-lifetime Halloween experiences! 👻
