The last time Halloween was on a weekend, the South Orange festivities were on the day itself, as was trick-or-treating. I assume it will be the same this year but hopefully someone who actually knows things will respond
I'm sure kids will trick-or-treat on the actual date of Halloween. The downtown parade dates are set by the merchants organizations that sponsor them, I believe.
Since the Maplewood parade really does shut down the area, the merchants have moved the parade from Saturday to Friday before (in 2009), so I wouldn't be surprised if they do so again.
I heard Maplewood downtown street will close for trick-or-treating Friday, October 30th from 3-5pm.
Does anyone know if there will be the same in South Orange?
Will the kids trick-or-treating from house to house be that night or Halloween itself?
