Swampscott Used Halloween Costume Sale Tops 200 Trick-Or-Treat Outfits

SWAMPSCOTT, MA — The Swampscott Recreation Department has more than 200 gently used costumes available for purchase this Halloween season as part of its efforts to provide low-cost holiday fun for children and adults.

The donated costumes and accessories are available for between $1 and $15 at the Costume Shop at the town hall each Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m. Costumes include those for babies, toddlers, kids and adults.

Those donating costumes can receive a 20 percent discount on purchases with those who have already donated to the costume drive eligible for the discount as well.

Costume seekers who arrive prior to 5 p.m. on the following Wednesdays are asked to form a line in front of the double doors leading to the sale. Space is limited so shopping may be limited to a handful of customers at a time.
