3rd Annual Munchkin Masquerade Parade

Couple nights ago, I watched the Real Story of Halloween on the History Channel.
Like most people, I was just flipping through channels until I was pulled into the show. I often wondered about the origin of the name Halloween, the Celtic background behind it all, and especially the transition from a religious holiday to an adult party phenomenon. So today, I thought I’d take it old school for a moment and share with everyone an event that celebrates the beauty of being a kid again. Since HC did talk about local hometown Halloween parades and events for children, I thought it would cool to put one on the map for Unilocal and the event organizer Hilarie.
On Sunday (10/​23/​2011), I volunteered at my friend’s food booth for the 3^rd Annual Munchkin Masquerade Parade in Walnut Creek. This growing Halloween event caters to all children from 10 and under. This is absolutely 100% family friendly /​kid event filled with games, prizes, arts & crafts, local eats, live music, and of course… costumes… costumes… costumes! There was even these cute little mechanical ponies that you can ride around the parking lot. Since I don’t have any children, I was still fun to watch all the kids enjoy themselves and watching all the hot MILFs. LOL. I’m kidding… seriously… (yeah right!). Since the event location changes yearly, I would definitely put this on a big recommend for all the East Bay families in the area to check out. Its free to attend and perfect opportunity to let you kids to go wild.
