New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
It’s that special time of year again where kids and adults alike get to dress up, carve jack-o’-lanterns, watch scary movies and attend costume parties. While Halloween (or All Hallows’ Eve) falls on 31 October each year, you will find costume parties and celebrations during the last week of October leading up to that special day. Our NewBedfordGuide.com staff spent some quality time on the phones putting together a detailed list of venues in and around New Bedford that are holding costume parties or other Halloween events.
