The Frightfully Fun Parade has returned to Disney California Adventure for the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash.
Oogie Boogie Bash is a separately ticketed event during the Halloween season. It takes place on select nights from August 25 – October 31, and this year’s event is fully sold out.
The Headless Horseman Rides Again
Much like Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom, the Frightfully Fun Parade kicks off with a visit from the Headless Horseman.
