Tonight Is Trick Or Treat Night In Berkeley

BERKELEY TOWNSHIP, NJ - You may have to pick your Halloween pleasure tonight.

Township officials several years ago opted to hold trick or treat night on Oct. 31, rather than Oct. 30. That broke a decades-old tradition which allowed Berkeley kids to trick or treat on Oct. 30 and attend the Toms River Halloween parade on Oct. 31.

Most of the towns on the river side still opt for Oct. 30 as trick or treat night, which adds to the confusion. Beachwood and Pine Beach had trick or treat last night.

Berkeley trick or treat starts at 2 p.m. Township officials recommend trick or treat stops at 8 p.m., although there is a general 10 p.m. curfew for tonight.

The Toms River Halloween Parade gets underway at 7 p.m. at the corner of Route 37 and Route 166.
