The swap is being held on National Costume Swap Day, which the organization Green Halloween founded three years ago in the hopes of reducing waste associated with Halloween. According to their website, “swapping the costumes of only half of the children who celebrate Halloween would reduce annual landfill waste by 6,250 tons, equivalent to the weight of 2,500 midsize cars.”
Rules of the swap:
- Parents bring only one costume for each child who is with them at the swap.
- Attendees will get one ticket per costume and will use the ticket to get one new-to-them costume.
- There will be two swap sessions, one at 3:00 p.m. and one at 4:30 p.m., but attendees are encouraged to arrive a little early as tickets will be given out in numerical order (first to arrive, first to pick a costume).
- While there will be an open gym, all small children must be supervised by their parents at all times.
- If there are multiple pieces to the costume, please place in a clear bag and label so we know where it belongs once we begin sorting.
The swap is free of charge but you must register if you plan on attending. Please include how many children you will be bringing in your registration. If you cannot see the registration form below, please RSVP on Eventbrite.
