The City of Akron's annual Trick or Treat celebration is Saturday, October 31. Akron residents who wish to participate should turn on their porch lights between 5-7 p.m. The City and Summit County Public Health have provided the following guidelines:
- Wear a face covering (except for children younger than 2 or anyone who cannot remove it easily) and stay six feet away from people who are not in your household. Halloween costume masks should be avoided.
- Carry hand sanitizer and use it often.
- Celebrate and participate only with your immediate family (groups or no more than 10 people).
- Consider using alternatives for contactless candy distribution such as a "grabber" or place treats in individual baggies.
- Wipe off all candy wrappers with sanitizing wipes when you arrive home or quarantine the candy for 48 hours.
- Contact your doctor if anyone in your household is at greater COVID-19 risk before allowing participation.
- Please respect neighbors who choose not to participate.
