Tips For A Safe And Fun Halloween!
Safety First, Then Candy
While Halloween will look a little different this year, the City of Chicago has released new guidelines to help everyone celebrate the holiday safely.
Here are Chicago's Eight Halloween Week Guidelines:
Masks aren’t just for trick-or-treaters this year! Everyone—including candy givers—should wear a face covering (multi-layered, covering the mouth and nose, without gaps around the face).
Leave a light on or hang a Halloweek sign in your window to let others know your house is giving out candy safely.
Handing out candy? Please socially distance and have hand sanitizer, too.
Trick or treating? Stay on the move! Less congregating means more houses and more candy.
Ensure there are all treats and no tricks. Please don’t reach into candy bowls while trick or treating, and eat candy only at home after washing your hands.
No Haunted Houses. They are truly spooky and dangerous this year.
Keep your candy crew small. Trick-or-treating groups should be 6 people or less.
No house parties large or small this year.
