City Of Akron issued the following announcement.
This year, the City of Akron’s annual Trick or Treat celebration will fall on the Halloween holiday which is Saturday, October 31, 2020. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to use caution and to always follow current state and local public health orders, rules, and regulations established in our community. The City has been in contact with Summit County Public Health regarding Trick or Treat activities and has developed best practices and guidelines to keep our trick-or-treaters safe while they enjoy the Halloween season.
Akron residents who wish to participate in “Trick or Treat Night” may show their support by turning on their porch lights between the hours of 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. that evening. Akron police patrols will pay special attention to children and families walking city neighborhoods to promote a safe and successful celebration for all.
“Our goal has always been to allow families to celebrate the Halloween holiday with a responsible Trick or Treat Night, if it could be accomplished in a safe and healthy way,” said Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan. “I want to thank Summit County Public Health for issuing guidance that will allow residents to make informed choices that are right for their family. We urge all Akron residents to review these guidelines and follow them carefully to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our community.”
