Best places to Trick Or Treat In Jersey City

It’s that time of year again. The crisp air, the crunch of fallen leaves under our shoes, pumpkins, and Jack-O-Lanterns cascaded down the steps of brownstones. Halloween time is here, and various options for celebrating with your family come! There are a ton of things to do around this time of year.

 Park Neighborhoods

 If you want to trick-or-treat in a neighborhood, try finding one surrounded by a park such as Van Vorst Park, Hamilton Park, Lincoln Park, or Riverview Fisk Park in Jersey City Heights. Additionally, many families will be walking around, making them more kid-friendly locations. Businesses in areas will also be giving out candy if you head to Central Avenue or Newark Avenue Pedestrian Plaza.

Apartment Buildings

Many local buildings will host their own trick-or-treat inside the residency. Typically building managers will give residents a way to indicate whether or not they are participating in the event. If your building does something like this, it can be a great alternative as it is self-contained. Contact your building to find out if they are hosting trick-or-treat for families.

Events

A few fun events are happening this year where the kids can go trick-or-treating!
