Camp Zama and SFHA to host Trick-or-Treating on Oct. 31

Halloween 2017!

Halloween 2017 is finally here! Typically a big event in the Camp Zama and SFHA communities, children and adults alike dress up and play pretend, while going door-to-door asking the famous question… “trick-or-treat?”

Halloween in Japan is getting more and more popular each year. Every year when Camp Zama/SFHA open the gates to our neighbors and external community members, more and more Japanese families share in our tradition of “trick-or-treating”.

Trick-or-Treating will be Tuesday, Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. on Camp Zama and Sagamihara Family Housing Area installations. (See below for escort procedures)
