Halloween in your own neighborhood is about as passé as trick-or-treating for Unicef.*
On October 31, a few Westport neighborhoods are swamped with kids (and parents) who live in less dense areas.
Or out of town.
They (or their parents) do a cost benefit analysis. Less walking = more candy/quicker time frame.
Most of the invaded homeowners go with the flow. They stock up on lots of goodies. Some invite the (often-costumed) parents in for a drink. It’s all part of the fun of living in a walkable area.
You can tell the ones who aren’t down with it. Their lights are off.
Sunil Hirani lives on Halloween’s epicenter: Soundview Drive.
He not only welcomed the dozens scores hundreds of ghosts, dinosaurs, astronauts and superheroes, and gave them plenty of sugar.
He also took dozens scores hundreds of photos.
Here’s one beach resident’s look at Halloween 2024.

We had cute young boy dressed in a Yankees uniform, #99. We handed him 3 Reeses, unfortunately he dropped them.
The homeowners and families in the Compo beach neighborhood are so generous and kind to go all out for making Halloween such a special day the way they do. Many years ago we would bring our children down to the beach area to trick or treat and now we accompany our grand children to do so. Each year the experience the residents offer gets better and more spectacular. We who live in other neighborhoods are blessed to be welcomed to theirs. I’m wondering if there is a fund we could contribute to for the candy they give out? I’m sure it must cost a fortune! They deserve much gratitude for helping to make Halloween in Westport such a treasure!
Wow amazing pictures!
Really really fabulous!
