Socially distanced Halloween event for Boro, Beach residents

Kids deserve a fun, safe Halloween this year! Join the Kiwanis Club of Point Pleasant in Pleasure Park for Pumpkin Palooza on Saturday, Oct. 31 at 9 a.m. in Pleasure Park, Point Pleasant Beach. The event is open ONLY to families who pre-register. Families must bring their own pumpkin, wipes and a blanket.

The rain date is Sunday, Nov. 1 from 9-11 a.m.

Families (Pumpkin Pods) will spread out throughout the park to decorate pumpkins at stations on the ground (Spooky Station). We’ll also be making a craft, and creating decorations for Crest Pointe Rehabilitation Center in Pt. Boro.

This will include plastic sheeting to go on the ground. Before you leave, you’ll return used paint brushes and unused supplies in separate bags.


The person registering the party/family/Pumpkin Pod must live in Pt. Boro or Pt. Beach.
