(PRINCETON, NJ) -- The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) invites one and all to the Hometown Halloween Parade, a decades-long Princeton tradition, on Friday, October 25, 2024.

Attendees are invited to gather on Palmer Square Green at 5:15pm and enjoy the festive musical stylings of the Princeton University Band before the parade departs at 5:45pm to make its way to the YMCA, where the evening continues with a Trunk-or-Treat and more free, family-friendly fun.

Following the parade, ACP will keep the party going with an all-ages Halloween Dance Party from 7:00-9:00pm. Costumes are encouraged for this outdoor event, free and open to all.

“The Hometown Halloween is a beloved Princeton tradition", shares ACP Programming Manager Melissa Kuscin. “Every year, folks tell us they attended when they were kids, and now they have their own children joining the fun! It just doesn’t get better than that.”

The Annual Hometown Halloween Parade is supported by Patrick de Maynadier, Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, and Coldwell Banker Realty.
