Route maps released for Kelowna's haunted house turned parade

Haunted parade routes out

Route maps have been released for one of Kelowna's most popular haunted house attractions turned parade due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Community liaison of the group Clarence Johnson says although the house has been very successful in previous years, it just wasn't possible this year due to social distancing requirements. 

"We decided to do the haunted parade because we couldn’t do the haunted house, obviously. 5,000 people just makes it too difficult to control crowds going through, so therefore we thought about it and one of our people that helps out with the haunted house came up with the parade idea and because people were doing the birthday parades, that’s why we decided let’s take the haunted house and put it on the road."

Decorated Halloween vehicles "securely identified" for security purposes will drive through various neighbourhoods in the city at the following times, in order of direction from start to finish:
