GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
Golden hosts an amazing Halloween celebration in the historic downtown. It all started when the children from Mitchell Elementary (which used to be located downtown) began an annual tradition of parading along Washington Avenue, so they could show off their Halloween costumes.
52 Years Ago
HERE’S SOMETHING SPECIAL for the Avenue–the boys and girls of Mitchell Elementary School will parade along the Avenue in their Hallowe’en costumes Friday–tomorrow–between one and two o’clock. Won’t that be a sight? You know how great it is for children to dress up–and then to have the opportunity to show off those costumes in a parade. Come on down if you want to see this something special.…
October 28, 1971 Golden Transcript
From that humble beginning, the event grew and grew and grew. At some point, the other elementary schools (Johnson/Shelton and Pleasant View) were invited.
I’ve been attending and photographing the event since the 1990s, and in that time, I’ve seen the addition of the Mines Band, a cappella groups, and flash mob dances.
The City now closes the street for the two-hour event. Halloween has become quite expensive for the downtown merchants, but there is no denying that the event is cute as the dickens.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
