Trunk-or-Treat and Traditional
Trick-or-Treating in Sea Isle on October 31
Trunk-or-Treat: Sea Isle City’s Recreation Office will host a “Trunk-or-Treat” event from 4:00 to 6:30 PM on Halloween Night, October 31, in the Welcome Center Parking Lot, where children can receive treats from parked vehicles. Residents, organizations and businesses are invited to hand-out treats during this event. Prizes will be given to the best decorated vehicles. To register your car or truck for Trunk-or-Treat, phone 609-263-0050.
Trick-or-Treating: Traditional door-to-door Trick-or-Treating will take place in Sea Isle City on October 31, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM, at participating homes and business throughout town.
Trick-or-Treat Route: If you plan to distribute candy from your home or business during Sea Isle’s Trick-or-Treat hours on October 31, you can add your address to our “Trick-or-Treat Route” by phoning the Recreation Office at 609-263-0050. The Trick-or-Treat Route will be made available on Facebook and elsewhere to families prior to Halloween Night, so kids will know which properties will be handing-out treats from their doorsteps.
Halloween Safety Reminders: Children should wear costumes that are brightly colored and do not drag the ground – and they should walk in groups, follow a route that is pre-determined by their parents, and never accept rides from strangers. Carrying flashlights is always a good idea when trick-or-treating – as is only crossing streets at crosswalks. Also, motorists are reminded to please drive with extra-caution on Halloween Night.
