City-Parish sets trick-or-treat hours at 6 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31

BATON ROUGE - Trick-or-treating in the City of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish will run from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31, according to a press release the Mayor's Office posted Oct. 23.

The release says neighborhoods and community groups may still hold their own Halloween events on dates and times they choose.

Safety advice from the City-Parish

The release asks families to map out a route ahead of time through lighted, familiar streets and to tell someone where they are going. It suggests bright or reflective costumes and a flashlight or glow sticks so drivers can see children, and keeping to sidewalks rather than cutting across yards or roads. Children should go out in groups with a trusted adult, it says, and parents should check treats at home, throwing out anything unwrapped or suspicious and reading labels for allergens.

The release covers the City of Baton Rouge and the parish.
