Ocean City Halloween 2018: Parade, Trick Or Treat Hours

OCEAN CITY, NJ — With Halloween coming up, make sure you stick to only treats and avoid the tricks by knowing the official trick-or-treating and curfew hours for 2018.

Traditional trick-or-treating hours in Ocean City will be 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Halloween night, Wednesday, Oct. 31. As always, any act of criminal mischief in Ocean City will be handled with zero tolerance by the Ocean City Police Department.

The annual Ocean City Halloween Parade will be held on Thursday, Oct. 25, 7:15 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. and will march down Asbury Avenue from 6th Street to 11th Street. It features local children, families, bands, entertainers, businesses and organizations costumed for the occasion, and is sponsored by the Ocean City Exchange Club.

To register to participate, call 800-813-5580 or visit ochp.blogspot.com. Watching the parade is, of course, free — with great spots to catch all the action from either side of downtown Asbury Avenue.

The Greater Ocean City Theatre Company’s annual Halloween Costume Party is set for 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26 at the Ocean City Yacht Club. Tickets are $65 until Oct. 13, then go up to $75.
