Halloween Parade/Costume Contest

The grand Spooktacular Halloween Parade is stepping off at 1 pm. The Parade is one of the best in the area with hundreds of costumed children, lots of high school bands, professional musicians, floats, and other marchers. Line up for the parade – and costume judging – at the Freehold Race Track parking lot off Manalapan Avenue. Judging begins at noon and ends at 12:45 pm, sharp. Prizes will be awarded in a variety of age groups from infants to teens. There is also a special family category. The parade winds its way up from Manalapan Avenue, to West Main Street, to the center of town. Prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the parade in the Hall of Records plaza at 2 pm.
