PHOTOS: Halloween Comes Early to Downtown Glen Ellyn

Children and adults paraded through downtown, while businesses opened their doors, and candy bags, for trick-or-treaters

Downtown Glen Ellyn was hopping Saturday morning as the annual Halloween Parade made its way through the neighborhood and on to Main Street. 

Great fall weather helped contribute to a huge turnout as people of all ages showed off their costumes.  Main Street was closed for the event and parade-goers spilled from one side of the street to the other searching for delicious candy. 

The Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce sponsors the event every year. The parade has been a tradition in the village for many years.
