Suds And Scares: Haunted Car Wash To Be Held In Union County

For a car wash experience like no other, Union County residents can meet some creepy characters while their car gets a good cleaning.

UNION COUNTY, NJ — This spooky event coming to Union County allows residents to not only get a car wash but also a scare, or two.

Play Theater — a performing arts program for kids in Union County — is partnering with Team Car Wash, located at 215 South Avenue East in Westfield, to host a "Haunted Car Wash" that will provide entertainment for guests who can choose between a silly or spooky experience.

This event is part of Westfield's AddamsFest, which is a month-long festival that honors the legacy of Charles Addams, the creator of "The Addams Family."
