The Pearl River Chamber of Commerce each year invites area children to its Halloween Trick-or-Treating Tradition. The event takes will take place this year on Friday, October 31st from 3 to 5 p.m. in downtown Pearl River.

The participating downtown businesses donate the special treats and their time to make this event a fun-filled, safe alternative to house-to-house trick-or-treating.

Please remember, an adult should accompany children at all times. The event will be coordinated with the Orangetown Police Department to ensure safety for all.

This is just one of the events the Chamber of Commerce sponsors throughout the year to benefit the families who live in Pearl River and to promote the downtown Pearl River merchants, service businesses, and restaurants/taverns. The main focus of the Chamber of Commerce in the next several years is the revitalization of downtown, to make it a fun, enjoyable, and thriving place for all, especially our youth. The Chamber is working toward improving all aspects of the downtown district, including strengthening public participation, supporting new and existing businesses, and encouraging the rehabilitation of buildings and beautification of historic downtown. The Chamber holds meetings on the second Wednesday evening of each month.
