Oh no! This was always a hoot. Looks like it was cancelled because it was popular!

The Las Vegas Halloween Parade
October 5 at 4:02pm ·
Dear Las Vegas Community & Halloween Parade Enthusiasts;
I writing to explain the situation surrounding the The Las Vegas Halloween Parade for 2015.
Last year approximately 70,000 attended the parade and after-event throughout the night. It was a wonderful success and we had great reports from our many friends in the community who shared the experience. As always, we are grateful the Las Vegas Community & beyond, which came in such meaningful numbers to share in our participatory Halloween spectacle.
The growing popularity of the event, combined with Halloween falling on a Saturday night this year - led us to estimate participation by upward of 100,000 people. This comes with increased infrastructure requirements and, of course, costs.
Earlier this year we were approached by a supporter who expressed interest in producing the 2015 parade. But, after months of negotiation, we were unable to agree on a plan that met everyone’s needs. Because of the late date, we’ve made the unfortunate decision to cancel this year’s event and focus on putting the sponsors and infrastructure in place to come back in 2016 with a parade that will be bigger and better than ever.
We apologize for the late notice, and we look forward to working with everyone in the coming year.
Kindest regards,
Cory Mervis

Numbers. Once you surpass critical mass everything goes wonky.

They need to find a bigger organization to sponsor it.

I went as the Invisible Man. That's probably why you didn't see me.
