🚦 Halloween Safety Tips for a Fun & Safe Bash
While Halloween is all about fun and fantasy, safety is still the #1 priority, especially with excited kids walking around busy areas. Here are some key reminders for parents and caregivers:
🛑 Road & Pedestrian Safety
-
Use crosswalks — and always look both ways. Even in pedestrian-heavy areas, cars may still be around.
-
Stay on sidewalks — avoid walking in the road.
-
Hold hands with little ones — especially when crossing streets or walking through crowds.
-
Wear something bright or reflective — glow sticks, flashlights, or reflective tape can help drivers see you as it gets darker.
🍬 Candy Check
Before your kids dive into their haul:
-
Inspect all treats — throw away anything unwrapped, opened, or suspicious.
-
Be allergy aware — check labels for allergens if your child has food sensitivities.
-
Set limits — don’t let kids eat too much at once. A few treats now, save the rest for later.
🧒 Keeping Kids Safe
-
Use the buddy system — make sure kids stay with a trusted adult or older sibling.
-
Write your phone number on a child’s costume tag or wristband in case they get separated.
-
Avoid masks that obstruct vision — face paint is often a safer alternative.
-
Dress for the weather — it can be chilly or rainy in late October, so layer up under costumes.
🧡 Community, Candy & Costumes
The Snohomish Trick-or-Treat Bash isn’t just about the candy — it’s about bringing the community together in a safe, festive environment where families can make memories.
Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned trick-or-treater, don’t miss this joyful Halloween tradition in the heart of historic Snohomish.
👇 Final Tips:
