The Halloween curfew will be in effect from Wednesday, October 28, 2009 to Sunday, November 1, 2009. Curfew hours are between 10 PM. and 6 AM., for anyone under the age of eighteen.  Anyone under eighteen years old is not permitted in any public place, public street, or on public property.  The curfew is enforced through an ordinance that was adopted by the Washington Township Committee.

Exceptions to the ordinance include: juveniles attending or returning from school, religious or municipal programs or functions, engaged in an errand involving a medical emergency, going to or from a place of employment or if a juvenile is accompanied by an adult who is over the age of twenty-one.

In Washington Township, Trick or Treating will commence on Saturday, October 31, 2009 at 2 PM. and cease at 9 PM.

Adherence to these curfews will make for a Safe and Happy Halloween!
