The city of Lexington will have trick-or-treating on Saturday, October 31 from 6-8 pm. As in the past, there will be more police patrols on the evening of Halloween.
Candy should be wrapped individually, or in individual goodie bags, and placed on a table, driveway or porch for trick-or-treaters to pick-up themselves. It is not recommended to use bowls of treats that allow individuals to reach-in and grab candy, or give out treats by hand.
Health guidelines suggest trick-or-treating only in family groups, staying in your own neighborhood, and using hand sanitizer often. Halloween masks are not considered protective face coverings.
Following federal, state and local public health recommendations, some normal trick-or-treat activities are not recommended:
- Trunk-or-treat events with large groups
- costume parties
- haunted houses
- hayrides/tractor rides
- large crowd events are considered unsafe, high-risk activities
