DENVER — The Broadway Halloween Parade has been a staple on Broadway for the last seven years. 'It was a small community parade with the neighborhood and businesses on Broadway, and that's all it was,' said Luke Johnson, president of the Broadway Merchants Association and organizer of the annual parade.He said the free event has been a great way to showcase the local businesses that provide the spooky floats.
Organizers said they and Denver police agreed — pedestrian barricades are now necessary.'We had an idea of how much barricades were, and they were three times more than what we thought,' said Johnson.So far, the Broadway Merchants Association has raised $9,000 of the $42,000 needed to get the barricades.'If every person that came out last year gave $1, the parade would go without a hitch. We had 30,000 people last year,' said Johnson.
