Halloween parade

The Halloween costume parade will feature cash prizes for first, second and third place winners and the weekend events for the first time will include coffin races.

Halloween weekend events in downtown Riverhead this year will include coffin races, a wildly popular event that's been held in a Colorado town for more than 20 years.

Hundreds of people lined Main Street for a big Halloween parade featuring zombie dancers, spooky floats, monsters, witches, ghosts, a hearse with a skeleton behind the wheel and more. Photos and video.
