5 Halloween Events In Long Valley (Besides Trick-Or-Treating)

LONG VALLEY, NJ — Not into the trick-or-treating scene this year? Believe it or not, there are things to do on Halloween that aren't related to trick-or-treating.

There are a variety of reasons why your family may not want to visit the neighbors for candy, but that doesn't mean you have to stay at home with the lights turned off.

For Halloween fans young and old wishing to mix it up or stretch out the festivities, Long Valley has you covered.

Here are five events in and around Long Valley, besides traditional trick-or-treating:

Trunk-or-Treat

Oct. 30, from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.

Immanuel Lutheran Church will hold a free fall festival complete with trunk-or-treating. Attendees will receive candy as they walk from one decorated car trunk to another, just as they would from one house to another.

The festival will also include games and snacks for everyone's enjoyment. Find more information here.

Ort Farms Boo Bash
