About the Parade of Mischief

Parade of Mischief is Downtown Summerlin’s annual Halloween street parade. Local youth performers, dancers, costumed characters, and decorated floats travel along Park Centre Drive while families watch from the surrounding sidewalks.

The 2026 parade features Halloween and pop-culture themes inspired by Wicked, Harry Potter, Cruella, Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, and Día de los Muertos.

The parade is designed as a lighthearted Halloween celebration rather than a frightening haunted attraction. Costumes, music, dancing, and colorful floats make it suitable for children and adults.

Parking and Arrival

Downtown Summerlin has parking garages and surface lots surrounding the shopping, dining, and entertainment district. The parade takes place along Park Centre Drive, so some internal streets and nearby parking areas may be busier than usual.

Arrive early to find parking and choose a viewing location before the parade starts at 6:00 p.m. The October 9–11 weekend also overlaps with the Summerlin Festival of Arts, so visitors should anticipate larger crowds during that weekend.

Know Before You Go

• The parade begins at 6:00 p.m. on each scheduled date.
• Admission is free, and advance tickets are not required.
• Arrive early for a better choice of viewing locations along Park Centre Drive.
• Keep children close because the shopping district and sidewalks can become crowded.
• Do not wait until Halloween weekend—the final parade is October 24.
• Consider making dining reservations when attending on a busy Friday or Saturday evening.
