Halloween House Decorating Contest: The deadline to register is 4 p.m. Friday, October 23, 2020. The contest encourages everybody to get in the spirit of the holiday in a safe and fun way. Judges will award prizes for homes in each of the city’s four wards and for businesses. A list of participants will be posted, so everybody can see the decorated homes.
· Trick-or-Treating: Hours for Ocean City will be 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31. Free door hangers will be available starting Friday to identify homes that will put out treats. This system will make it easier for trick-or-treaters to find participating homes, and it will limit interactions with homes not participating. Check www.ocnj.us/halloween for details on how to pick up your free door hanger and on recommended health and safety precautions.
· Halloween Costume Skate: The Ocean City Skate Park will be host to a Halloween event with prizes for best trick and best costume. The skate will be 4 p.m. to dusk on Saturday, Oct. 31, at the park at Fifth Street and Asbury Avenue. Free candy and music will be available.
