Harajuku Omotesando: Hello Halloween Pumpkin Parade

30 Oct

The Hello Halloween Pumpkin Parade, an annual Halloween parade in which approximately 1,000 children under twelve dress up to form a parade that spans the 700m long zelkova-tree-lined section of Omotesando, takes place for the 28th time this year. Plus, in addition to the parade itself, there will also be a special Okashi Rally Map available that shows the whereabouts of a number of participating shops in the Omotesando/Harajuku that will be giving away free okashi (sweets) to children.
