The BID Halloween Parade is Back!
From ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
From monsters and munchkins and phantoms and ferlies
And trows that would gie us a fright…
From bad-tempered giants and blood-sucking vampires
And skeletons dancing a jig,
From banshees and hogboys and demons and dragons
And giants no matter how big…
We won’t run away – no! – we’d rather join in
Ahint the pipe band as they skirl
And parade through the toon with a skrek and a shout:
Have a grand Halloween boys and girls!
This Halloween, enjoy the spooky window displays in businesses throughout the town centre, many featuring specially carved Nasty Neeps! And please do join us at 3pm on Saturday 30th, to march from Bridge Street to Broad Street to Victoria Street, behind Kirkwall City Pipe Band and the Just Dance dancers. There’s no need to have a costume, but if you’d like to make one, please do – the spookier the better. All ages welcome!
