Hundreds come out for Halloween parades in Los Banos

Hundreds of superheroes, movie characters, astronauts, ghosts and witches paraded the streets of Los Banos on Thursday as three schools took part in two Halloween-themed parades.

Students from Westside Union Elementary School and Los Banos Elementary School marched through downtown Los Banos escorted by police officers, showing off their costumes a day ahead of Halloween.

Miano Elementary School had its own parade around the streets of its East B Street campus in town.

The annual parades celebrating Halloween date back many years, and students look forward each season to showing off their costumes in the streets of Los Banos.
