Halloween tradition continues on Oct. 31

By CITY OF KENOSHA

The City of Kenosha website (kenosha.org) helps citizens and visitors learn about city services and conduct business, including permit applications and online payments.

Nothing beats a fun and safe Halloween.

The City of Kenosha continues its Halloween tradition of trick or treat from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31.

Households interested in giving away treats should indicate their interest by turning on a light on their porch or in the front yard.

Drivers are reminded to slow down and take extra caution during the hours of trick-or-treat, to avoid accidents.

Sunset on Oct. 31 is 5:45 p.m.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers the following safety tips for trick or treat:

  • Eat only factory-wrapped treats. 
  • Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.
  • Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips and falls.
  • Look both ways before crossing the street. Use crosswalks wherever possible.
  • Swords, knives, and other costume accessories should be short, soft and flexible.
  • Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them.
  • Consider adding reflective tape to costumes to assist in visibility after dark.
