Cranford Pet Costume Parade Slated For Day Before Halloween

CRANFORD, NJ — After trick-or-treating was canceled in many towns in 2020, fans of Halloween are ready to get back to a semblance of creepy normalcy any way they can. Downtown Cranford has scheduled a host of events this month, including a pet costume parade on Oct. 30.

The Downtown Cranford "Howl-O-Ween Parade" at Eastman Clock Plaza will start with registration at 12:30 p.m. The parade will kick off at 1, and prizes will be awarded at 2.

Your hosts for the event will be Downtown Cranford, The Barker Lounge, Wolfgang Bakery & Grooming.
