Mmmonster Parade!

TRIPLES IS BEST! MMMONSTER PARADE IS HERE, AGAIN! Let’s let our freak flags fly, together! Your nightmares can come true! Be a creepy and walk down the street to Hamtramck Disneyland and have a bonfire with us!

It's time to give some love to the monsters! Join us and bring your ghoulfriends to celebrate all things misunderstood and spooky. Come in your favorite monster gear and walk from Ride It Skatepark to Hamtramck Disneyland singing monster chants and signs, after which we will watch a beloved monster movie (to be later announced)!
