PARSIPPANY, NJ — Get ready for the spooky season! Parsippany's Trunk-Or-Treat Extravaganza will take place at the Onyx Equities Campus (7 Sylvan Way/8 Campus Dr.) from 2 p.m. to sundown Oct. 31.

The event will take place rain or shine and feature treats, prizes, spooky music and festive fun for all ages. Cars will line the parking lot with festively decorated “car trunks” to provide a fun place for children to come trick-or-treat safely. Festivities will also include a a costume parade for kids, trunk decorating contests and plenty of candy for all trick-or-treaters.

Registration for decorating your vehicle and handing out treats is now open and can be accessed here. Groups, businesses and individuals that would like to participate by having either a trunk or table — typically decorated with a Halloween theme — are also encouraged to register and take part in the event. The registration deadline is 5 p.m. Oct. 25.

“We’ve been looking forward to putting this event on for months, and we can’t wait to celebrate the holiday with all our trick-or-treaters,” said Mayor Michael Soriano. “Thanks to our continued partnership with Onyx and the support of our Municipal Alliance, we can put together an event that’s safe, spread out, and most importantly, exciting and fun for the whole family.”

Onyx Equities previously donated $75,000 to the township to nix any taxpayer cost for the Fourth of July fireworks. Read more: Company Nixes Costs For Parsippany's 4th Of July Celebration

Because of the size of Onyx's campus, there will be plenty of space for guests to park, walk around and participate in the festivities safely.

“Safety for this event is of utmost importance for us,” said Sam Yodice, director of the Parsippany Police Athletic League, who is co-hosting the event with the Recreation Department. “COVID has made us rethink how we celebrate these events in person, but with the help of our police department and emergency services, along with the large space Onyx is providing the township, we’re confident we can keep our guests safe so they can focus on having a great time with family and friends.”
