Aliante gets early start on Halloween

Aliante will host a free Halloween Parade and Harvest Festival Oct. 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will be held in the North Las Vegas master-planned community's 20-acre Nature Discovery Park, located at 2627 Nature Park Drive, near the southeast corner of Aliante Parkway and Interstate 215, the Las Vegas Beltway.

Adults and kids are invited to show off their costumes in a Halloween Parade emceed by D.J. Tony. There will also be pumpkin decorating and art classes for the kids (while supplies last), as well as face painting and trick-or-treat bag decorating.

Dan Naef, senior vice president of North Valley Enterprises, the developer of Aliante, said the Halloween Parade and Harvest Fest will offer lots of fun for people of all generations.

"We're inviting the Southern Nevada community to come out and enjoy this wonderful seasonal event," he said. "Along with providing fun and entertainment for the entire family, it will also give prospective home buyers a chance to experience, first-hand, the great sense of community that exists here."
