Beads, T-shirts, stuffed animals and footballs will flew through the air as the annual Mystics of Mountain Brook parade processed through Crestline Village on Halloween 2013.
“We started nine years ago with our Halloween parade,” said Casey Wright Horn, a Mobile native who started the parade with her brother, Trent. “We both missed Mardi Gras badly and thought this was a great way to bring a little Mardi Gras to Mountain Brook.”
The event, which began with one car driving down Dexter Avenue, now features more than 23 floats, cheerleaders, MBJH Spartanettes, Mayor Terry Oden in his antique fire truck and more.
The current parade route descends down Dan Watkins Drive in front of the library and Tot Lot, and then down Church Street. After taking a right on Euclid Avenue and a right on Vine Street, the parade ends on Vine Street near Crestline Elementary.
The money raised after expenses are covered has gone to various needs in the city, as determined by parade participants.
