Trick-or-treating has never been so fun, especially when it's three days early!

Firefighters, devils, witches and divas met at the courtyard between the Jacob's Ferry and The Landings riverfront communities in West New York on Oct. 28 for the community's third annual Halloween parade and trick-or-treating event.

"I wanted to be something spooky," said Emily Borner, 6, who dressed as a devil for the parade.

The event was organized by Teresa Lim, who had all of her three children take part. The day featured games for children and performances by the Memorial High School Marching Band, who led the parade through the development.

"This year we wanted to do something big, because it is the first year that the development was completed," said Lim. "There are so many children in the community."

"It is so much fun to do this," said Anne Erni, who moved to West New York from Manhattan with her husband and two children.

However, the day wasn't just for children. Many of the parents also dressed in costumes for the parade.

"This is the first time I've gotten into a real costume with my kids," said Kendall Steven, dressed as "Mr. Long Hands."
