Halloween on the Common

Norwell’s Happiest Haunting Grounds

Saturday, October 26 | 1–4 PM | Norwell Town Common
Free & Open to All Norwell Residents

Ghosts and goblins and giggles—oh my!

NWC’s Halloween on the Common offers a safe and joyful Halloween experience in a town with very few sidewalks, so the Norwell Common becomes the heart of the holiday.

This spooktacular (and totally free!) community event is bursting with fright-free fun for little monsters and grown-up ghouls alike. Come in costume, bring your pumpkin spirit, and enjoy:

🎃Carnival games & music

🎃Trick-or-treating hosted by local businesses

🎃Selfie stations to capture all your boo-tiful looks

🎃Pumpkin Decorating Contest with categories for all ages

🎃Costume parade & contest for kids, families, and brave adults

🎃DJ & Dance Party on the Grass—because Halloween deserves a soundtrack!

And the best part? It’s powered by high school volunteers, supported by generous local sponsors, and filled with the kind of hometown spirit you won’t find anywhere else.
