Union County Review

The Union County Board of County Commissioners and the City of Rahway invite residents with disabilities and special needs to attend the free “Halloween Bash,” an evening of seasonal festivities, on Friday, October 21.

The event will feature dancing, games, arts and crafts, and a Haunted House. Party goers are asked to wear costumes, as there will be a Halloween costume contest with prizes.

Light refreshments will also be provided.  

“Our goal as County Commissioners is to ensure that our public recreation programs help every Union County resident feel connected, respected and included, as we celebrate the fall season and all throughout the year. We thank the Rahway City Council for all their support,” said Commissioner Chair Rebecca L. Williams. 

“The Rahway City Council and I are proud to once again partner with the County Board of Commissioners to present this special Halloween event for members of our community with disabilities and special needs. This reflects our shared commitment to ensuring that recreational opportunities are available for all residents,” said Mayor of Rahway Raymond Giacobbe.

The Halloween Bash will take place on Friday, October 21, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Rahway Recreation Center, 275 East Milton Avenue in Rahway.

Ages 16 and up are invited. This is a drop-off respite program. Parents and guardians are also welcome to stay.
