Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, which means Toms River is going back to an old tradition.

I grew up in Toms River and for as far back as I can remember, we always did our trick-or-treating on October 30th (the day before Halloween.) This was so everybody could attend one of the biggest Halloween parades in the country on Halloween night, October 31st.

Recently, Toms River trick-or-treating was shifted to the 31st. The parade would take place the Saturday prior. However, this year Halloween is on a Saturday.

Bottom line:
  • Toms River trick-or-treat: Friday October 30th
  • Toms River Halloween Parade: Saturday October 31st
Happy Halloween!
