Boo! Halloween Parade and Party Too!

What's the best way to make Point Borough's Halloween parade even better?

Have a big party right after it!

That's what the Point Pleasant Chamber of Commerce is planning for this Sunday.

In the past, the parade that closes down Bridge Avenue for a couple of hours had started at 1 p.m. However, this year the parade starts at noon, to be followed by the Halloween "finish line party" at 1 p.m.

So, everyone should keep in mind that Bridge will be closed down around 11 a.m. and stay that way for at least a couple of hours. Detours should be taken.

The party is scheduled for 1 to 5 p.m. at Bridge Avenue and Beaver Dam Road. The Jazz Lobsters, a big band orchestra, will play from 2 to 4 p.m.

There is no rain date.

There will be food and craft vendors, pony rides, a petting zoo and other fun  activities for the kids. Come in costume or as you are.

How do you register to march in costume in the parade?  

Please pre-register at one of these locations: You will be given the parade day information packet with your registration number (needs to be displayed at the parade).
