It's a fall filled with fun in the Borough! Festivals, Monsterville mayhem, concerts and more are all in the line up this season. Every October, the Borough becomes Monsterville as residents and local businesses go all-out with elaborate Halloween decorations, pumpkin displays, and seasonal activities. Enjoy spooky walkability as you stroll down Centre Street and through the surrounding neighborhoods to view decorated Victorian porches and historic homes. Explore town
festivities at our October farmer's market, costume parades, haunted school house, porch fest, harvest and haunts festival, haunted walking tours and family trick-or-treating events. Stop in to refuel at local watering holes and eateries like the Blue Monkey Tavern, The Station Cafe, Omega's, Thyme Kitchen, Restaurant 1793, Eclipse Brewing and Thai Ginger 2 - or grab a quick pizza or sub at Vincent's, Pronto's or Cheessteaks! And, remember to load up on Monsterville treats at Aunt Charlottes and The Candy Jar by 1892!
You can work off all those goodies at the 2026 Zombie Run on Saturday, October 24th - sign up today! Mark your calendars, invite your friends and enjoy all that Merchantville has to offer in the small town with Big Heart!
