Town of Farragut, local businesses, school teams/clubs and politicians were among the entries out in full force — many sharing candy with small children along the way.

The parade began down Lendon Welch Way at Farragut High School, turning westward onto the Pike and contining to Federal Boulevard before finishing in Farragut Towne Center.
