(York, Pa.) - Written in blood today appeared a spooky announcement: The York Halloween Parade is back!

The York Revolution, which stages the parade, announced today that fiber optic internet service provider Glo Fiber has signed on to sponsor the beloved local tradition, bringing the parade back for its 73rd year.

"Glo Fiber is thrilled to present this year's Halloween parade, carrying on this long-standing York tradition that brings joy to families, friends, and neighbors alike," said Mark Watkins, Vice President of Marketing. "Our commitment to fostering community togetherness aligns seamlessly with the magic of the York Halloween Parade, making this partnership a perfect match."

The parade will launch Sunday, October 29, at 2 p.m. from the York Fairgrounds and travel east on Market Street from Richland Avenue to Broad Street.

Registration will open on Friday, September 1, at www.yorkhalloweenparade.com.

The parade's 2023 theme, "Written in Blood," encourages commercial and non-profit organizations, high school bands, baton groups or dance studios, and individuals and small groups to craft entries based on their favorite spooky pieces of literature, from authors like Bram Stoker, Stephen King, and many more.

Organizers also announced the return of cash prizes and increased band subsidies thanks to the support of the Arthur J. & Lee R. Glatfelter Foundation. Through its sponsorship, all participating high school bands will receive a $750 stipend. Bands will also be judged for their creativity and musicality for prizes of $2,000 for first place, $1,500 for second place, and $1,000 for third place.

Non-profit entries will be eligible for prizes of $1,500, $1,000, and $750. Determined by local celebrities, these cash prizes will be awarded based on entries' creativity in interpreting the parade's "Written in Blood" theme.
