To all our parade participants: Thank you for your creativity, enthusiasm and Halloween spirit! Without you, we wouldn't have had much of a parade!

To our contractors and drivers: Thank you for generously donating your equipment, time and expertise. We couldn't have pulled this off without you! And special thanks to Joe Vanaria for his expertise and coordination.

And last, but certainly not least, a huge thank-you to our city officials and public safety teams:

• Mayor McCarthy for her support.
• Waltham DPW: Jeff Sutherland and his entire team for their hard work and coordination.
• Waltham Police: Capt. Vazquez, Lt. Deveney, Lt. Quaranto and all the officers who kept everyone safe, especially the motorcycle team that worked tirelessly to keep traffic flowing.
• Waltham Fire: Deputy Chief Grant, Captain Bonadio, Lt. Perry and their teams for leading the parade, providing EMS coverage and helping coordinate the downtown closures.

Putting on a parade of this size takes an incredible amount of teamwork, planning and community support. We're grateful to everyone who stepped up to make it happen.

From all of us at the Waltham Lions Club, THANK YOU, WALTHAM! 🦁🎃

What an incredible way to celebrate Halloween and bring our community together!
