This powerful event will  culminate with a magical nighttime  parade. Drawing together world-renowned  institutions including the Field Museum, The Art Institute  of Chicago, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,  Columbia College Chicago and the Association for  the Advancement of Creative Musicians, as well as  unique local organizations like Louder Than a Bomb,  Silent Theatre Company, and guilds of artists in  assorted fields, this dramatic display will activate  Halloween as the "artist's holiday" along one of the  most prestigious cultural avenues in the world.

Imagine a parade filled with large spectacle, legions of lanterns, costumes, performances, music, dance, dramatic lighting, moving platforms and more!
