Photos: The Del Ray Halloween Parade makes big comeback

Batman, Mr. Incredible, Cruella De Vil… The Del Ray Halloween Parade was back in style on Sunday, October 24.

Thousands of costumed heroes, villains and all in-between showed up for the annual event, which was brought back after a hiatus last year.

The audience also marched along to the beat of Alexandria City High School’s Titan Zombie Band.

Alexandria is full of Halloween-inspired events all week.
