Reminder: Trunk-or-Treat Monday

Officials are warning against traditional trick-or-treating due to safety concerns

 

Mahwah's Halloween celebration is Monday.

Town Hall is hosting a trunk-or-treat celebration Monday, Nov. 5, at 4:30 p.m. All cars that want to take part need to be there by 4:15 p.m., and the event runs until 6.

The event was originally re-scheduled for Saturday, but was pushed back again to Monday due to the continued power outages in Mahwah. The new date is in line with Gov. Chris Christie’s executive order last week canceling Halloween and urging municipalities to hold it on Monday.

Township officials advised limiting Halloween this year to the trunk-or-treat, as downed wires throughout Mahwah make traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating too dangerous.

This is the second year in a row that Halloween in Mahwah has been impacted by severe weather events. Last year, the October snowstorm stopped some residents from attending the parade, and prompted others to organize a trunk-or-treat.

Hey All -- Just spoke to the twp -- They are warning against trick-or-treating because of dangerous conditions, but Halloween is not officially canceled in the township. So, you can go traditional t-o-t'ing, but they are asking parents to take extreme caution, and advising that people go to the trunk event instad. Sorry if there was any confusion!

Why is this being held tonight and not on Friday? Because it looks like a campaign event for Bill Laforet. Unlike years past, this is not organized by the Recreation Committee. It is not posted on the official Mahwah FaceBook page and gets three lines on the Mahwah.org webpage (see if you can find it). It is not posted on the Town Events on www.Mahwah.org. In fact, if you want to know what is going on in Mahwah and Storm relief updates, you have go to "Team Laforte" on FaceBook to get any info. This is Bill Laforet's campaign facebook page.
