The New Boston Road Halloween Street Party has attracted hundreds of children and adults for an evening of street entertainment and frolic for the past six years. Originally organized by Jim Souza of the New Boston  Bakery, the event has grown year after year through the participation of other nearby merchants. The 2006 event offered entertainment by the Toe Jam Puppet Band, the Providence Festival Ballet, Ten31 Productions and Peter Panic. Open to everyone, the event offers a safe and fun way to celebrate the holiday. For more information, contact Jim Souza at 508-672-9840.
