Safety Tips 

  • Accompany all young children while trick-or-treating. Trick-or-treat in groups with household members. Stick to neighborhoods you are familiar with or an agreed upon route for older children.
  • Closely inspect all candy before eating. Check labels closely for potential allergens. Avoid homemade treats given out by strangers.
  • Remind children to walk, not run, between houses and use sidewalks when available.
  • Use caution when crossing the street and cross only at intersections when traffic is clear.
  • Wear brightly colored costumes or add reflective tape to costumes for visibility. Carry a flashlight.

Residents

  • Motorists should be careful and alert during and around these hours.
  • Use battery powered candles to light your jack-o’-lantern and other decorations.
  • Leave walkways and paths to homes clear and well-lit to avoid trip hazards.
  • Leave on a porch or exterior lights if you plan to participate in trick-or-treating.
