The Mattapoisett Police Halloween Parade is more than 50 years old and will continue this year on Monday, Oct. 31 at 6 p.m.

Following the parade there will be a contest for the most creative costumes. The winners range from pre-kindergarten to high school. Awards and the candy for 350 bags of candy are provided through donations by the community.
