To take part, residents must register in advance through Community Pass by Oct. 15; no walk-ups will be allowed. Each registered participant is required to hand out candy, though decorating a vehicle is optional.

This year's event adds a new twist: photos will be taken of each decorated car, and an online vote afterward will determine the best-decorated trunk, with a prize awarded to the winner. The evening will also include a Children's Costume Parade, with prizes for the top three costumes, and a new Pet Costume Parade, with a prize for the best-dressed pet.

Residents can register online at roselandnj.org/recreation-department.
