Newark’s annual Halloween Parade is drawing near. Plan now to be a part of this special Halloween event, complete with marching bands, floats, antique automobiles, costumed characters and much more.The parade begins at Tyre Avenue and Main Street and marches west on Main Street, to College Avenue. Local clubs, civic groups, school bands, PTA’s and scout troops are encouraged to participate. Applications are available online at www.newarkde.gov/play.

Ghosts and goblins, fairies and princesses join in the fun of Trick or Treat Main Street. The event is paired with the Halloween Parade for twice the fun. There will be goodies from many stores and downtown businesses, and much more. Bring a camera and have your picture taken in the Pumpkin Patch.  All municipal lots will offer free parking to cars during the events. For the safety of the children, Main Street will remain closed throughout Trick or Treat Main Street.  There is no rain date for this event.
