North End families came out on Saturday for the annual Halloween Children’s Party, sponsored by the Madonna Della Cava Society and City of Boston Special Events. Leading the parade were members from the Saint Alfio’s Band with music selections ranging from Mickey Mouse, When Saints Come Marching In and, of course, the Italian feast procession favorites. In addition to the parade, the party continued on Battery Street featuring inflatable bouncing games, D.J. Justin and family activities. Star Market provided candy, 7-Eleven gave out slurpees and local officials were on hand to give out free goodie bags to the kids.
