Now in its 41st edition, the annual Hello Halloween Pumpkin Parade will be attended by more than 1,000 children under twelve years old, who dress up to form a parade that spans the length of approximately one kilometre along the zelkova tree-lined avenue in Omotesando.
What’s more, there’s a special Okashi Rally Map, which lists participating shops in the Omotesando and Harajuku area that are giving away free okashi (sweets) to kids. While tickets to participate in the Pumpkin Parade and Okashi Rally are now sold out, there are also booths for the little ones to partake in fun activities for free. If you’re looking for a meal, many restaurants and cafés in the area are serving special Halloween-themed menus throughout October.
