The Halloween Parade is a yearly event, this year sponsored by the Masons. Judging is held in different categories and awards presented. This year's parade featured several marching bands, floats, tractors, horses, and, of course, people in costumes.
No parade in Altamont would be complete without Mr. Wendling and his high wheel bicycle!

One of Altamont's treasures is the Wright Mansion. It was built in 1889 by Dr. Charles Wright and was later occupied by his son and then his grandson, both also named Charles. It was the first home in Altamont to have a gas lighting system, indoor plumbing and a central steam-heating system. The house is one of only two buildings in the county to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Charles II was also a doctor. A medical office is present on the second floor of the home and early medical equipment is preserved there.
