Celebrate Halloween with kids in Rockland County, New York, at these festive events, including Nyack's Annual Halloween Parade, a Halloween celebration at Barnes & Noble, and a pick your own pumpkins festival at The Orchards of Concklin.
It's that time of year again, when giant, inflatable pumpkins start popping up on lawns all over the suburbs. The more enthusiastic among us bring out lights, lawn ornaments, and animated "spooks" that either amuse or annoy our neighbors. Check out these family-friendly ways to enjoy Halloween in our area:

Children are invited to come in costume for special Halloween Celebrations at both of our area Barnes & Noble Booksellers.
