This is a free, family-friendly event that encourages children and adults of all ages to showcase their creativity by participating and dropping off a pumpkin prior to the event. If you're interested in showcasing a pumpkin, please register on the Cranford Jaycee's website.

Each year, the parade draws thousands of visitors from all over. It's become a staple within the Cranford community. 
The parade is hosted by JCAS, a community of artists and citizens dedicated to raising awareness and integrating creativity and art into everyday activities. The group is supported by the Cranford Jaycees.
