Ocean City has one of the oldest Halloween Parades in New Jersey. After a year off because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was back in force Thursday, Oct. 28, marching down Asbury Avenue with bands, floats, dance troops and scout troops, decorated vehicles and people in costume. The parade is run by the Ocean City Exchange Club and headed up by Jeff Shirk. Above, Queen of Hearts Michele London with daughter McKenzie in the parade. The Londons had their loyal cards, Thora Fromal and Jessica Torti, and had no problem dealing with them.
