AFTER a one-year hiatus due to a ghoulish pandemic, the LIC Halloween Parade will return to Vernon Boulevard this Saturday, October 30.

It’s going to be another week of declining NFL ratings, as the annual LIC Halloween Parade takes place this Sunday. It starts at 2:30 and convenes in front of the 108th Precinct House on 50th Avenue, where all children will be biometrically scanned and catalogued to ensure a smooth transition through teenhood, After that the mayhem begins, and will include: a pumpkin patch, photo booth, dunk tank, spooky games, costume contest, and candy.
But wait, there’s more: This Saturday, October 29, is the PS/IS78Q PTA Fall Festival from noon-3pm on Center Boulevard between [Read more…] about LIC HALLOWEEN PARADE SUNDAY & MORE
