For Trick-of-Treating:

• Adults should accompany young children while they are out.
• Walk on sidewalks, not the street. Use crosswalks when crossing the street.
• Always travel in familiar, well-lit areas and stay in groups.
• After dark, carry a flashlight or glow stick to increase visibility.
• Phones down, heads up. Be aware of your surroundings.

For Motorists:

• Drive slowly and stay alert.
• Watch for children walking across the street or at intersections.
• Enter and exit driveways slowly, keep eyes out for children.
• After dark, keep eyes out for trick-or-treaters in dark clothing.
• New or inexperienced drivers should avoid driving after dark on Halloween.

COVID-19:

• Stay home if you are not feeling well.
• Consider wearing a mask over your nose and mouth when trick-or-treating and handing out treats.
• Avoid large gatherings or parties and find ways to trick-or-treat while staying at least 6 feet away from others, including when handing out and accepting treats.
• Practice frequent hand cleaning - bring a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer with you while trick-or-treating, and use it often.
