Downtown Riverhead was packed for Halloween Fest ’22 yesterday. The day’s activities included coffin races on Griffing Avenue, trick-or-treating along Main Street, pumpkin painting and the grand finale, a big after-dark parade featuring all sorts of ghouls, goblins, zombies and monsters. Throngs of spectators jammed the sidewalks from Griffing Avenue to East Avenue to watch the parade.
The festival concluded with entertainment on the riverfront, featuring performers from Peconic Ballet Theatre, East End Arts, and DJ Mark MK.
DJ Mark emceed at both the coffin races and parade.
The festival is sponsored by the Riverhead Business Improvement District.
