City of Wilmington issued the following announcement on Sept. 19.
There has been much discussion, and we are being asked by numerous people whether or not the City is cancelling trick-or-treating this year on Halloween. We are not.
We believe that trick-or-treating can be accomplished safely. Treats are already individually wrapped and sealed. And the outdoors allows for social distancing.
Here’s what we ask:
• We ask that you consider wearing a mask (not the Halloween kind) if interacting closely with others.
• Do not leave bowls of candy on your porch that multiple people will touch.
• If you are uncomfortable with handing out candy, please do not turn on your porch light.
• If you are uncomfortable with your children trick-or-treating, it is always your choice as a parent not to send them.
• We encourage everyone to practice social distancing to the extent possible.
• Enjoy & be safe.
TRICK-OR-TREATING HOURS FOR THE CITY WILL BE FROM 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM ON OCTOBER 31st
