The Toms River Halloween Parade, a cherished tradition hosted by the esteemed Toms River Fire Company No. 1, is once again upon us, marking the approach of Halloween with a spectacular display of creativity and community spirit that has graced the streets for decades.
Mark your calendars for the 84th annual Halloween parade, set to take place on Tuesday, October 31, 2023. This enduring tradition, closely tied to Halloween, is complemented by trick-or-treating slated for October 30, the night before Halloween, ensuring everyone can partake in both celebrations. Additionally, South Toms River, Pine Beach, and Beachwood are also planning trick-or-treating on October 30.
According to TomRiver.org, what began as a humble local municipal Halloween event in 1937 has evolved into the world’s second-largest Halloween parade, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.
