Breeders, mark the calendar: Downtown Summerlin’s Parade of Mischief is back for its seventh haunting season. Every Friday and Saturday night in October, Park Centre Drive fills with more than 70 local youth performers and a procession of Halloween-themed floats — free, no ticket required, dead simple. This year’s run covers eight nights: Oct. 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, and 25, each starting at 6 p.m. Universal Horror Unleashed presents the 2026 edition, produced by BESTAgency, with two new floats — one channeling Wicked, another summoning Harry Potter — joining returning crowd-pleasers like Cruella de Vil, the Hocus Pocus witches, a Dia de los Muertos procession, and The Addams Family.
When Is Parade of Mischief in Downtown Summerlin?
Parade of Mischief runs eight nights in October 2026: Fridays and Saturdays on Oct. 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, and 25, with each night’s procession starting at 6 p.m. along Park Centre Drive. There’s no performance the weekend of Oct. 30-31, so if you’re chasing the parade specifically, don’t save it for Halloween night itself.
This is the seventh year the parade has marched through Downtown Summerlin, and it’s become enough of an October fixture that families plan return trips across multiple weekends rather than treating it as a one-and-done. Full night-by-night listings, an add-to-calendar link, and a map are on our Parade of Mischief event page.
What’s New in This Year’s Parade?
Two fresh floats join the lineup for 2026: one built around Wicked, another around Harry Potter. They march alongside the parade’s established regulars — aliens, Cruella de Vil, a full coven of Hocus Pocus witches, a Dia de los Muertos procession, and The Addams Family — performed by a cast of more than 70 local youth.
Universal Horror Unleashed is presenting this year’s edition, which tracks with the Area15 attraction’s broader push into Vegas’s Halloween calendar — I covered their events calendar through 2027 back when they first laid it out. BESTAgency produces the parade itself.
Is Parade of Mischief Free?
Yes. Parade of Mischief is free and open to the public, no ticket or reservation required. It runs along Park Centre Drive in Downtown Summerlin, Las Vegas, NV 89135. Arrive on the earlier side if you want curbside real estate — it’s an open-air street parade, not a ticketed enclosure, so spots along the route go to whoever claims them first.
