2024 Lake Claire Parade!

Please join us on 10/26 at the corner of Ridgewood and Marlbrook for the annual Lake Claire Halloween Parade.   We’ll take off at 5pm and march our way down into Lake Claire Park, where kids can play, enjoy snacks, a costume contest, and more!

We are looking for some volunteers for Halloween Parade day-of supplies (think paper plates, snacks, tables, etc) and snack-table service help – this is an easy way to contribute to this annual neighborhood event.  Here’s the sign-up genius:

A big thank you from the parade planning committee, and thank you to all of our sponsors this year!

We Need Hosts for the Lake Claire Craft Fair Walking Tour!

The LC Holiday Craft Walking tour features craft tables set up around the neighborhood.  And we need places to put them!  It’s easy to be a Host! Hosts must be on Arizona, Indiana, Connecticut, Casson, New York, McLendon (south side only, between Arizona and Connecticut). (Delaware is also one of the streets, but every person on that street has already volunteered!) You do not have to be home, but if your house is not near one of the porta-potties (one at CSM, one at Indiana@Arizona, potentially one more at New York/Ct. TBD), you’d need to provide bathroom access for the artist(s).
