The Township of Union Recreation Department is starting a new tradition this year by celebrating Halloween with a Spooktacular Saturday jam-packed with activities throughout the day in Vauxhall and at Rabkin Park.

“Our Halloween Spooktacular Saturday promises thrills, chills, and fun for kids of all ages,” stated Michele Delisfort, Mayor. “After decades of our traditional Halloween parade and costume contest, it was time to bring a fresh approach to the Township.”

The inaugural All Hallow’s Eve-ning will feature pre-move activities starting at 3 pm such as inflatables, carnival games, pumpkin painting, mask craft and more. The event will end with a showing of a medley of Halloween themed cartoon specials, featuring characters from Toy Story, Shrek, Tom and Jerry, and Casper. Roaming judges throughout the night will be looking for the best costumes for our costume contest. The finalists and the winner will be announced before the movie at 6:15 pm.
