- Costume Safety – Make sure costumes are flame-resistant and visible, especially for evening events. Add reflective tape or glow sticks for added safety.
- Stay in Groups – Encourage kids to stay with their group during large events, and if you’re attending as a family, make sure everyone knows the plan.
- Be Cautious with Treats – Inspect all treats before allowing children to eat them. Stick to packaged candy and avoid homemade goods from unfamiliar sources.
- Practice with Road Safety – For events like the Boo-tacular Fun Run or Running of the Pumpkins, remind kids to stay on the designated paths and be mindful of traffic if the event takes place near roads.
