波特兰10月25日塞尔伍德-莫尔兰“怪物大游行”免费登场：儿童变装风雨无阻
10月25日下午3时，波特兰塞尔伍德-莫尔兰社区的“怪物大游行”将免费登场，起点与终点均设在东南区卢埃林小学，面向所有年龄段，风雨无阻。这是一场属于孩子的万圣节服装游行：孩子们穿上服装走上街头，邻居们沿路观看，气氛轻松，不讲排场，只讲参与。同一天下午3时，波特兰另一头的罗斯威公园也有服装游行，两场活动隔河相望，家庭任选一场即可，不必赶场。游行组织方提醒，活动按风雨无阻的原则进行，波特兰10月下旬下雨是常事，带把伞、穿双好走的鞋，就能安心看完全程。对塞尔伍德-莫尔兰的居民来说，这场免费游行是社区秋天的固定节目：一年一度，街坊在街头见面，孩子在众人面前展示自己的服装，万圣节的气氛就这样从一家一户走到整条街上。
Portland's Sellwood-Moreland 'Monster March' Goes Ahead Free on October 25: Costumed Children Rain or Shine
At 3 p.m. on October 25, the "Monster March" in Portland's Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood stepped off for free, starting and ending at Llewellyn Elementary School in the Southeast, open to all ages, rain or shine. It is a Halloween costume parade belonging to children: kids take to the streets in costume while neighbors watch along the route, in a relaxed atmosphere that is all about participation, not pageantry. The same afternoon at 3 p.m., Roseway Park across the river also had a costume parade; with the two events facing each other across the river, families could pick just one and skip the rushing around. The organizers reminded families that the event goes ahead rain or shine — late-October rain is normal in Portland — and that with an umbrella and good walking shoes you can comfortably watch the whole thing. For Sellwood-Moreland residents, this free parade is a fixed program of the community's autumn: once a year, neighbors meet on the street, children show off their costumes in front of everyone, and the Halloween atmosphere moves from individual homes out onto the whole street.
