Halloween 2020 Celebration “is on” – with guidance from the State Health Department. Trick or Treating will be on Halloween (10/31) during the hours of 3pm-8pm.
Traditional Halloween celebrations often involve crowds, close contact between individuals, and activities in closed spaces. It is important to plan early and identify safer alternatives. Outdoor activities, as opposed to indoor parties and events, are recommended.
Those planning celebrations or participating in Halloween activities should keep in mind public health recommendations of social and physical distancing, wearing masks that cover the nose and mouth, and hand hygiene. Costume masks are not an acceptable substitute for cloth or disposable masks.
The Borough of Swedesboro will have a 9pm curfew for Halloween weekend (10/30-11/1) for all children 17 and younger.
