East Jersey Old Town Village Open For A Spooky Safe Halloween

MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NJ — As the number of coronavirus cases continues to climb — and many public health experts think we're officially in a second wave — Middlesex County has a mix of in-person and virtual Halloween events this year.

For in-person, kids and the public are invited to walk through East Jersey Old Town Village Oct. 28 - Nov. 1. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on those dates, children are invited to walk through the village (costumes encouraged), which will be decorated for the fall season.

All children be given a trick-or-treat goodie bag in exchange for a non-perishable food or monetary donation to the Middlesex County Food Drive.

To add some spooky sci-fi fun, a UFO will be on display in the park for the perfect photo op. Costumes are encouraged!

East Jersey Old Town Village is a preserved village that shows what New Jersey looked like in the Colonial-era 1700s. East Jersey Old Town Village is located at 1050 River Rd, Piscataway, NJ 08854

You do not need to register in advance for this event.

And enjoy spooky fun at home, thanks to some of Middlesex County’s most talented local artists. Log on to the virtual celebration now on Middlesex County’s website for festive fun including creepy makeup tutorials, crafts, photos, recipes and more. Starting the week of October 28 and on view through November 1, virtual visitors will be treated to a “War of The Worlds” performance with Raconteur Radio. This theatrical group will be recreating Orson Welles’ famous radio play where the Garden State faces invaders from Mars.

There are also spooky face-painting ideas, chalk painting ideas and more: http://www.middlesexcountynj.g...
