Brownsville and West Brownsville are both planning Halloween parades.

Brownsville’s annual parade will begin on Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. in front of the South Brownsville Volunteer Fire Department, 530 Water St., with lineup at 6:30 p.m. The parade will end in downtown Snowdon Square. 

Costume judging, trunk-or-treat and free treat bags are part of the festivities, and health safety guidelines will be followed.

Additionally, the borough will hold trick-or-treat from 4 to 6 p.m. 

West Brownsville’s parade will also be held on Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. Council meets next week, and will determine whether trick-or-treat will be held.

Borough officials have asked residents to stay dressed up and head home to watch as fire trucks, police cars and community members drive up and down each street, passing out treats to children.

Those who want a treat basket are asked to RSVP via that West Brownsville Facebook page, @westbrownsvilleboro.

The borough is also holding a costume contest with two ways to enter. Judges will be watching for costumes during the parade, or contestants can post images on social media with the hashtag “#westbrownsvillehalloween2020” between Oct. 26 and 30.

Awards will be given out in person during the parade.
