Shelter Island’s annual Halloween Parade, one of the community’s brightest and most beloved annual events, kicked off yesterday from the Center Firehouse. The parade took in North Ferry Road and then, as always, moved to Smith Street where residents greeted the Trick-Or-Treaters.

Our Francesca Frasco was there to record some of the fun.
