Ragamuffin Parade and Costume Contest on tap for Hoboken

HOBOKEN –Residents of all ages are invited to dress in their Halloween best for the annual Ragamuffin Parade and Costume Contest on Saturday. Oct. 31 at 1 p.m. in Hoboken.
The line of march starts at 12:15 p.m. on Washington Street between 13th Street and 14th Street. The parade will end at the Little League Field for the Costume Contest at 2 p.m.
Traditionally, the kids trick-or-treat at businesses after the parade, and sometimes houses after that. The event will also feature live music, floats, and host, MC Polka Dot. The parade was previously scheduled for Friday, Oct. 30 due to conflicts with various events on Saturday including a 5K race and soccer games that take place on the field used for the costume contest. The soccer games have been rescheduled in order to accommodate the City Council and community’s request to hold the parade on Halloween.
