Newburyport Halloween 2020

Newburyport Trick-or-Treat Saturday, October 31st from 5:30-7:30 PM. We urge our residents to follow the CDC and state guidelines, take all precautions, and be safe celebrating Halloween this year.

Regarding the celebration of Halloween this year, please understand that we have spent a lot of time and resource to assess our position. It will be our responsibility together to help our kids safely keep some of the familiar in their Halloween.

We have coordinated with our local communities and police departments to ensure our residents take the utmost precautions for their Halloween celebrations. With all having limited activities, we hope that this will keep kids in their local community only. Trick-or-treating will take place this year between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM on Saturday evening, October 31st. Traditional trick or treating is strongly discouraged, however, should residents partake in trick-or-treating, we encourage all to precautions - wear masks and gloves, observe good hygiene including hand washing and use of alcohol-based sanitizers, be outside of your home and offer individually drop wrapped candy in bags. Those who do not wish to participate in Trick-or-Treat are asked to shut off their outdoors lights as an indicator. We want to emphasize that trick-or-treat is a higher risk activity, even when taking the precautions just stated.  Costume parties with groups are also high risk and strongly discouraged.  Please familiarize yourself with these recommendations from the CDC and follow them.
