The Halloween parade made a spectacular return to Paisley Halloween Festival at the weekend with thousands of visitors gathering in the town centre to enjoy the show.
The free to attend festival, which was celebrating its 10th anniversary, saw more than 300 professional performers and community groups participate in the parade that wove through the town centre on Friday and Saturday night.
A big change to this year saw Mill Street included in the parade route for the first time to give more people the chance to get a great view of the show.
Some of the parade highlights included the ghostly pirate ship, giant octopus, towering witch puppet and giant stilt walkers.
There was plenty of activities on throughout the two days to entertain the crowds including the funfair at the Lagoon Car Park and East End Park, live performances on Bridge Street and County Square, marshmallow toasting, arts and craft sessions and spooky light shows on some of the town’s most well-known buildings.
The event was delivered by Renfrewshire Council in partnership with performance specialists Cirque Bijou with lighting design by Grant Anderson. The event was supported by EventScotland as part of their National Events Funding Programme.
The next major event to take place in Paisley town centre will be Paisley’s Christmas – a month-long festive celebration delivered in partnership with Scotland’s Theme Park. The programme will run from Thursday 28 November to Saturday 28 December (excluding Christmas Day and Boxing Day) and will see the outdoor undercover ice-rink return to a new location at Paisley Cross and plenty of festive-fun to get you in the Christmas spirit.
