The unofficial kickoff to the end-of-year holiday season is a big deal in Hudson County, as blocks of rowhouses, restaurants, and other businesses transform their spaces with creative designs to ring in the start of All Hallows’ Eve.
Whether you’re in search of ghouls and goblins, whimsical decor, or some topical humor, Jersey City and Hoboken’s neighborhoods have no shortage of amazing decoration displays during the Halloween season.
