How long had the parade not been going on for? For all the kids in Maplewood/South Orange and nearby areas so happy it is back for them!

Well, whatever they called it they had one last year.

We were there for a few minutes... saw some great costumes. Didn't see this one. It's fabulous!!!

Whoa!

* I learned how to spell it now

Weird Al and Ted lasso.

This one could have been a contender- but I think she left early-

The cereal family 

And the houses ... walking around the neighborhood with grandkids.

We had quite a few t-rexes, some turtle and fruit.

Jersey devil and a few others.

I think it was canceled in 2020 and 2021.

These folks were fabulous in my book, too!  So glad to see people getting into the spirit!  (Ooh, maybe the wrong word.  I'm sure no one was kidnapped by any ALL HALLOW'S EVE spirits.  JUST FUN!

W:  I don't remember a time there WASN'T a Halloween Parade in Maplewood -- it was even filmed as background in a movie!  (One True Thing, right?)  Now I'm dating myself.  But my daughter has worked downtown for over a decade, and I think it's been continuous.  (Could certainly be wrong......)

How come?  Maybe bad weather?  Maybe something else?

COVID-19. 

In 2021, the Delta variant was around.

And a few more

I love Weird Barbie! That takes a lot of, uh, guts to wear that.
