Emmaus Halloween Parade

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Bob Green, a longtime and dedicated volunteer of the Emmaus Halloween Parade.

Bob gave so many years of his time supporting the parade through his work with the Delaware Lehigh Amateur Radio Club, helping ensure everything ran smoothly and safely year after year. His commitment, reliability, and presence behind the scenes made a lasting impact on this beloved community tradition.

We are incredibly grateful for all that Bob contributed over the years. The parade simply wouldn’t have been the same without him!

With Thanksgiving upon us, we’re feeling especially grateful. 🧡🦃

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Wesley Works Real Estate and Keystone Running Store who have helped raise nearly $60,000 for the Emmaus Halloween Parade over the past 19 years through their dedication to the Emmaus Halloween Parade 5K Race. Each year, the race donates $3,000–$4,000 to support the parade, and their impact doesn’t stop there.

Thanks to the race’s generosity, our community has benefited from important safety enhancements like flashing crosswalk signs, a new speed timing board for the Police Department, and numerous park projects and events that make Emmaus shine.

This Thanksgiving season, we’re truly thankful for our partners who give back year after year and help keep our traditions strong. 🧡
