Halloween Week in Brookfield: Monster Mash, Trick or Treat, and a Forged Skull

Halloween week in Brookfield builds to a busy Thursday and Friday, with events for seniors, families, and makers alike.

Thursday, October 29, starts at the Brookfield Senior Center, 100 Pocono Road, with the Monster Mash Halloween Party at noon. Later that afternoon, Trick or Treat at Town Hall runs from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at Brookfield Town Hall, 100 Pocono Road, giving costumed visitors a stop in the center of town.

Friday, October 30, the Brookfield Craft Center Forge, 290 Whisconier Road, hosts Halloween Forged Skull from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a full-day session at the forge for anyone curious about blacksmithing with a seasonal twist.

Thursday is also the second extended-hours early-voting day, with polls open at Town Hall, Meeting Room 133, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., so a trip to Town Hall for trick-or-treating can double as a voting trip for those who still need to cast a ballot.

The warmest weather of the week lines up with the festivities: Thursday is forecast sunny with a high near 67, and Friday reaches near 71, so outdoor plans should be comfortable with a light layer for the evening.

Families looking further afield can also catch the final night of New Milford's Scarrybrooke Haunted Trail on Friday evening and Danbury's Halloween on the Green on Saturday afternoon — both covered in today's nearby-towns piece.
