On the island then, as now, people who have candy to give away will make sure to decorate, at least to some extent, so kids know a stop there will be worthwhile. Twisted Trails (plus the entire list of which they are a part – note that many are paid) and the Staten Island Halloween Houses group are both places people can see really awesome decorations. It’s a day of fun and enjoyable walks through the towns with parents, usually in small to medium sized groups, right after school and up until it becomes dark and a little after. Trunk or Treat is great for places like New Jersey, where houses are spread really far apart in an unwalkable way, and we have them on the island, too, for those parents who don’t want their kids going around to neighbors houses. For those that do, your neighbors may well be planning to give out candy at their house this year on Halloween, after which they may go to another event.
Staten Island, NY — Borough President Vito Fossella is inviting Staten Island families to celebrate the end of the Spooky Season with a Halloween afternoon of fun activities at the annual Staten Island Boo Bash at Wolfe’s Pond Park on Saturday, October 31st from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
