ROCHESTER - City streets will be alive with the undead Friday during the sixth annual Zombie Walk.

Both adults and teens are welcome to join in the fun with zombies gathering by 6:45 p.m. in the Union Street parking lot.

At 7 they will be escorted by the police down North Main and South Main Streets to cider, donuts (courtesy of Dunkin' Donuts) and what else...brains, along with a free movie, Hocus Pocus, courtesy of Guyer Travel at the Common.

Special appearances are being made by students from Corinne's School of Dance and Studio 109 who will perform to "Thriller" throughout the route.

There is no charge to participate, and free parking is available nearby at the Union, North Main, and Congress Street or City Hall parking lots.

As usual, the Zombie Walk will be preceded by the annual Trick or Treat On The Town and Horribles Parade for children under 10. Costumed children under 10 are asked to assemble at the Union Street Parking at the Factory Court entrance at 4:15 pm for maps and treat bags and then make their way throughout the downtown area stopping at participating merchants. Maps will be available until 5:30 pm.
