SUMMARY:2024 Neewollah Parade - Downtown Roseburg
DESCRIPTION:2024 NEEWOLLAH Parade\n\nThis Halloween\, you might hear night creatures call and see "the dead" start to walk in their masquerade if you venture downtown for Roseburg's Neewollah Parade. \n\n\n\nWhile there's no word yet about plans for a flash mob to dance to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" as in years past\, downtown's Jackson Street will still hold spooky surprises when the parade steps off at 5 p.m. on Thursday\, Oct. 31. \n\n\n\nCostumed participants will gather at 4:45 p.m. on Jackson Street at Douglas Avenue and begin parading at 5 p.m \n\n\n\nHundreds of costumed tricksters will prowl the pavement\, Captain Jack Sparrow will return with his Black Pearl pirate ship and dancing witches will shake their broomsticks. Keep a sharp eye out for other macabre sights   as a white-masked "Michael Myers" in a black jumpsuit (aka Casey Harefeld) and a masked crew resembling the dystopian anarchists from "The Purge" film series just might make appearances. \n\n\n\nAnd if that's not enough ghastly fun\, Roseburg Fright Club will conjure up "Kids Spook Ally" inside the Roseburg Elks Lodge\, 749 SE Jackson St.\, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. for $1 a person. A scarier "Funhouse of Horror" is offered from 7 to 10 p.m. \n\n\n\nNeewollah   that's Halloween spelled backward   is a monster tradition that was first held in Roseburg on Oct. 31\, 1933. According to local residents\, historians and newspaper articles\, the Neewollah Parade has been held every year since then\, except during WWII and in 2020 and 2021 during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic\, when virtual "parades" and costume contests were held instead. Neewollah resumed in 2022 to help celebrate Roseburg's Sesquicentennial\, or 150th birthday.
