Be Safe, Be Seen on Halloween

Take a look at the tips below for things kids and parents can do to stay safe this Halloween.

  • Carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help kids see and be seen by drivers.
  • Accompany kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating.
  • Slow down and be alert! Kids are excited on Halloween and may dart into the street. Turn on headlights early in the day to spot kids from further away.
  • Remind kids to cross the street at corners or crosswalks.
  • When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls. Choose face paint over masks when possible. Masks can limit children’s vision.

Not-So-Spooky Parking


Don't circle the block! Plan ahead and view where the city parking garages and lots are located here.

Plan a Sober Ride Home


This Halloween, the scariest thing isn’t a costume – it’s a drunk driver. If you plan to drink, make sure to plan a sober ride home. Drinking and driving can be deadly. Let’s all make it home safely.
