Halloween events and trick-or-treat times across South Jersey

Halloween is celebrated Tuesday, Oct. 31, but holiday celebrations in South Jersey are hardly limited to the official date.

Area residents celebrate with parades, trunk-or-treat parties and the traditional door-to-door candy hunt.

We even have hayrides and pony rides.
