HT Pride 2026

HT Pride returns in 2026 with a theme to honor our journey: Full Circle

A circle reminds us that no one stands alone. The circle is protection. It is strategy. It is community. It is how we resist, how we survive, and how we celebrate each other’s existence and resilience.

HT Pride 2026 is our 6th year hosting Pride in our community, and it comes right after the 5 year anniversary of the Haddon Township Equity Initiative (HTEI). These events mark cycles of persistence. Pride is not just a moment in time. It is a movement passed from one generation to the next, carrying the fight for visibility, safety, freedom, and joy.

Save the Date – Full Circle Pride: Parade – Thursday, June 4th & Community Night – Friday, June 5th
Location: Haddon Square – 51 Haddon Ave, Haddon Township, NJ 08108

June 4 / June 5

For up-to-date event information, community engagement, sponsorship packages and volunteer opportunities on the Parade & Community Night, please visit https://www.htpride.com/.

Trick or Treat Hours & Safety Tips!

Happy Halloween from the Haddon Township Police Department!

We want to wish everyone a fun and safe Halloween night! As you head out for trick-or-treating, costume parties, and all the spooky festivities, please remember to stay safe and watch out for each other:

Be extra cautious for pedestrian traffic – Kids and families will be walking through neighborhoods, often in dark costumes, so please slow down and stay alert on the roads.

Parents and guardians: Equip your little trick-or-treaters with flashlights or glow sticks to help them stay visible, and remind them to look both ways before crossing streets.

If you’re driving: Take it slow, especially in residential areas, and be ready for excited children who may not be paying attention to traffic.

Please remember: Trick-or-Treating hours are between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM, and the Haddon Twp curfew for Halloween is 10:00 PM, so let’s wrap up the fun and head home safely!

Have a great time, and as always, we’re here if you need us.

Happy Halloween!
