Calling all ghouls, goblins, and spooky season lovers to Somerville’s annual “Truck O’ Treat” on Thursday, October 29, from 5 to 7 p.m. outside City Hall (93 Highland Avenue)! Rain date: Thursday, November 5.

A family in Halloween costumes—an adult in a blue fuzzy suit crouches by a stroller with a toddler in blue and an older child holding an orange trick-or-treat bag—posing in front of the Loch Ness Loader as a Mr. Potato Head character walks by at sunset during last years Truck o'Treat event.

Somerville residents need your help. On Wednesday, September 30, a fire at 1137-1147 Broadway impacted 32 homes, and left 43 people displaced. Thankfully everyone made it out safely, but many lost everything.
