The countdown is on for one of Gettysburg’s most anticipated fall traditions — the 2025 Gettysburg Halloween Parade — and the deadline to secure sponsorship is fast approaching. Businesses, organizations, and community members have until September 1 to sign on as sponsors for the festive event, which steps off Tuesday, October 21 at 7:15 p.m. (rain date: October 22).
Presented by Businesswomen Influencing Gettysburg, the annual parade draws large crowds to downtown streets with floats, marching bands, costumed performers, and spooky surprises. Sponsorships help cover the costs of staging the event, from permits and public safety to awards and entertainment, ensuring the parade remains a free, family-friendly celebration.
Organizers stress that the September 1 deadline is firm. Completed sponsorship forms must be accompanied by payment, with checks received within seven days to confirm a spot. Late submissions risk forfeiture of the sponsorship opportunity. Contributions will be recognized in event materials and announcements, giving local businesses a chance to connect with the community while supporting a beloved tradition.
Prospective sponsors can learn more and access forms at www.gettysburghalloweenparade.com or by following @GettysburgHalloweenParade on social media. Completed forms and checks should be mailed to:
