Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, October 31, which means a full weekend of parades, parties and crowds across Hudson County. If you are planning to stock up before the weekend, or you would like to avoid a trip into a busy Downtown on the night itself, a little planning helps. This guide covers the Halloween weekend schedule at CREAM, how to time pickup and delivery, which local events may affect getting around, and how to keep the night safe and responsible. It is for adults 21+.
The Quick Answer
- Store hours, Friday–Sunday: 9 AM–11 PM. Delivery runs 9 AM–10:30 PM. Holiday hours can vary, so check or call (848) 500-9333 to confirm.
- Order early. Build your cart before the weekend, and choose pickup or delivery.
- Expect crowds Downtown. Local events can mean more people and some street closures around Newark Avenue.
- Plan a ride. Never drive after using cannabis, and don’t mix it with alcohol.
What’s Happening Locally
These events come from published listings, and details can change, so confirm with the organizers before you go. We are mentioning them so you can plan your route and timing, not as recommendations to combine them with cannabis.
- Historic Downtown Jersey City’s Halloween Family Bash: an annual free family event on Saturday, October 31, 12 PM to 8 PM, at the Newark Avenue Pedestrian Mall and Plaza, according to the Historic Downtown organization.
- Hudson County Fall Fest: listed for Saturday, October 31, 11 AM to 3 PM, at 902 Brewing Co. on Pacific Avenue. Free and family-friendly.
- Hoboken Ragamuffin Parade: listed for Saturday, October 31, at 4:30 PM, on Washington Street in Hoboken.
- Bar crawls and parties: several are listed in Jersey City and Hoboken, mostly 21+. If you go to any event with alcohol, don’t use cannabis as well, and plan a ride home.
Getting Here on Halloween Weekend
The walk from the Grove Street PATH station to CREAM goes west on Newark Avenue and up Brunswick, about 5 minutes. On Saturday, the Newark Avenue Pedestrian Mall is the site of a large daytime event, so expect more people on that stretch, and allow extra time. Check the PATH schedule too, since service patterns can change on weekends. Street parking is free on Sundays and after 8 PM, but it can be harder to find on a busy day. See how to get to CREAM for every route.
Pickup or Delivery?
- Order-ahead pickup keeps a busy-day visit short. Build your cart, then collect it. See our guide to order-ahead pickup.
- Delivery saves you the trip. It runs until 10:30 PM Friday through Sunday, with no minimum, and it is free over $70 and $5 under. Check your address on the delivery page, and see how weed delivery works.
- Walk in if you want to ask questions. Allow for a busier Downtown.
Order earlier in the day if you can. Halloween evening will be busy for everyone, including drivers. Our weekend hours guide explains the schedule.
Planning Ahead
If you are staying in, think about what suits the evening: a pre-roll, a low-dose edible or a vape. See our guides to pre-rolls, edibles and edible dosing. Start low, particularly if you will be around friends and want to stay in control of the evening.
If You Have Trick-or-Treaters
This matters more than anything else on the list. Cannabis edibles can look like candy, and Halloween means children at your door and candy in your home. Keep every cannabis product locked away, out of sight and well apart from your treat bowl. Our guide to Halloween cannabis safety covers storage and what to do in an emergency.
The Rules Still Apply
- Bring valid ID. A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID showing you are 21 or older, for pickup and delivery.
- Use at home, where it is allowed. Public places have restrictions. See our guide on where you can use cannabis in Jersey City.
- Never drive after using cannabis. Halloween nights are busy on the roads.
- Don’t mix with alcohol. It makes it harder to judge how you feel.
Discounts
Standing discounts apply on any day: 15% for 07302 locals in store, 10% for veterans on all orders, a discount for NJ medical patients, and 5% back in CREAM Rewards. Only the single largest discount applies. We don’t advertise a Halloween promotion here, so check the deals page to see what is running.
