Hell yeah, it’s Halloween Season at The Jersey Shore! That means fun decorations, costume parties, haunted houses and hayrides. I’m talkin’ Halloween events for everyone on the Jersey Shore in Monmouth and Ocean Counties!
WRAT’s annual costume party will be going down on October 28th. The party starts at 8pm at Martell’s on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach! We’ll have a great time with live music from Big Bang Baby, a live DJ between sets, and a free buffet. Plus don’t forget that cash prizes for the costume contest! It’s always a great time so stay tuned for your chance to win free passes!
Some of these Halloween events on the Jersey Shore are way too scary for kids because the employees specifically want to scare the you-know-what out of you. They take scaring you as a point of pride, so beware! Anything like that and I’ll mention that it’s not for kids. But, lots of these Halloween events are perfect for everyone.
I’ve left off the trunk-or-treat events and most of the farmers market type places that just toss some pumpkins in a field and call it, “Pick Your Own Pumpkin”. Those things are cool but, for me, they’re just ways for those places to jump on the Halloween bandwagon. All of these joints put some real effort into Halloween events on the Jersey Shore; they get us psyched up into the Halloween spirit!
So, get your ghoul on. Take a shot of courage and venture, if you dare, into the Halloween season. Get into the night and see if you can make it back alive! There’s no telling what creatures may be hiding!
Halloween is our favorite holiday because there’s parties, you get to get dressed up, you don’t have to buy tons of presents for everyone and you don’t have to cook for everyone in your family!
The only question left is: How many of these will you hit this spooky season?!
Toms River Halloween Parade
I don’t have to tell you how awesome this Halloween event is! This parade lays claim to being the second largest Halloween parade in the country. Organized by our pals at Toms River Fire Company No. 1, it’s as long as the night is dark! This parade is so cool. So many different groups take part in the annual parade. Set yourself up anywhere along Main Street or Washington Street and you’ll be good to go for this fun family event. Look for the WRAT Pack leading the parade again this year! If you’d like to be in the parade, you can! Just register on parade day at the firehouse on Robbins Avenue. The 84th Annual Toms River Halloween parade is October 31st. The parade begins at 7pm.
Rocky on the WRAT float.
Asbury Zombie Walk
Our friend Jason started the Zombie Walk as a fun and friendly event in Asbury Park back in the day. It started as a fun way to get out in zombie outfits but quickly steamrolled into a massive outing of awesome people in some of the greatest zombie outfits known to human kind. Every kind of zombie turns out for the Asbury Park Zombie Walk, it’s a truly one of a kind event. There’s usually even a free make up area! This zombie walk is so cool that it set a world record not once, but TWICE! Actually recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, twice!
The Asbury Park Zombie Walk 2022 was a great time!
