Kids of all ages are invited to experience a family-friendly drive-thru Halloween Parade honoring Nature's small but mighty ambassadors, the pollinators who are essential to life itself! Support Local! Masquerade passengers remain in their cars while moving past exciting stationary nature floats designed by local organizations highlighting how their mission supports the event theme. Decorate your car and decorate yourself too, as your favorite...                                                                                            Birds, Bats and Bugs… Oh, MY!

          

Each car will receive a nature-themed goody bag of Halloween surprises

Vehicles will “line up” in the Hopewell Elementary School parking lot, then migrate to St. Michaels Farm Preserve at the Princeton Avenue entrance closest to town (Hopewell)

Best-selling author/artist Patrick McDonnell, creator of the MUTTS comic strip, is creating an iconic artwork to delight Parade-goers.  Live music featuring our very own musician, Bill Flemer of Riverside Bluegrass Band
