Monsters, ghouls, ghosts and vampires were joined on the city’s streets and sidewalks with princesses, superheroes and animated characters as New Britain celebrated Halloween 2018.
Many children and families trick or treated in downtown, where local businesses and city and state leaders handed out candy.
Meanwhile, door to door trick or treaters were greeted by neighbors with treats in neighborhoods throughout the city.

Community activists in the North-Oak neighborhood joined together at St. James Baptist Church to hold a “Trunk or Treat” Halloween celebration for the neighborhoods’ kids.
Like in a number of other such events in the city, the organizers of the North Oak neighborhood “Trunk or Treat” said that, at the event, “Kids can go from trunk to trunk and collect candy and goodies in a safe space.”
Volunteers decorated their car trunks with creepy Halloween themes and greeted children with treats.
Spectrum DJ Entertainment provided music, while children were able to enjoy dancing, games and other activities.
