The Gory Daze Parade and Events began in 2002 as a modest Halloween pastime among friends &mdash\; a few costumes\, a walk\, and a bit of music. Twenty-two years later (we&rsquo\;ll forgive the pandemic gap year)\, it&rsquo\;s become White River Junction&rsquo\;s biggest night of the year\, drawing over a thousand costumed revelers to the streets each fall. What was once a quirky neighborhood idea is now an institution &mdash\; equal parts parade\, concert\, art happening\, and candy-fueled fever dream.

If you&rsquo\;ve never been\, think of it as a small-town Halloween parade with big-city personality: Klezmer bands\, Dracula&rsquo\;s rock ensemble\, donuts on strings\, and people who genuinely believe &ldquo\;October 32nd&rdquo\; is a real date.
