Boo!

Spooky season is upon us, and we want you and your family to have a happy and safe Halloween. We’ve compiled a list of trick-or-treat locations, other kid-friendly Halloween activities and some tips on staying safe while having fun.

Trick-or-treat times and locations

Homes and businesses in the Harambee and Riverwest neighborhoods participating in trick-or-treating during this time should register their location by Friday, Oct. 29 using this form. This will help trick-or-treaters in the area find you. Trick-or-treaters can view the map here.

On Saturday, families can also trick-or-treat indoors at the Latino Family Expo and Festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at St. Augustine Preparatory Academy, located at 2607 S. 5th St. Register for free here.

Safety tips

  • When out trick-or-treating, especially at night, consider wearing highly-visible or bright-colored clothing. This helps cars see you crossing the street.
  • ­­­Note that while your costume may include a mask or face-covering, it is likely not as effective in slowing the spread of COVID-19 as a mask you would normally wear for that purpose. Trick-or-treaters, especially those who expect to spend time indoors, should consider wearing a mask designed to slow the spread of COVID-19 in addition to whatever mask or face-covering that may come with their costume.
  • Parents should consider inspecting candy before their children eat to ensure it is safe.

Consejos de seguridad

  • Cuando salga a pedir dulces, especialmente por la noche, considere usar ropa muy visible o de colores brillantes. Esto ayuda a que los autos lo vean cruzar la calle.
  • Tenga en cuenta que si bien su disfraz puede incluir una máscara o una cubierta facial, es probable que no sea tan eficaz para frenar la propagación de COVID-19 como una máscara que normalmente usaría para ese propósito.
  • Los que hacen truco o dulce, especialmente aquellos que esperan pasar tiempo en el interior, deben considerar usar una máscara diseñada para retardar la propagación de COVID-19 además de cualquier máscara o cubierta facial que pueda venir con su disfraz.
  • Los padres deben considerar inspeccionar los dulces antes de que sus hijos coman para asegurarse de que sean seguros
