GB Sets Trick or Treat for 10/31, 5:30-7:30

Halloween Trick or Treat will take place in Great Barrington, including Housatonic Village, on Saturday, Oct. 31, 5:30-7:30 p.m., for Great Barrington residents only.

The event is contingent upon the town remaining at “low risk” for COVID-19, according to the state’s COVID-19 map. There will be no rain date.

The town asks participants to follow several guidelines for a safe Trick or Treat evening.

Trick or Treaters:

• Wear a COVID-compliant mask, keep safe distances from others, and do not congregate.
• Please stay on your own street or in your own neighborhood and limit the number of homes you visit.
• Only visit homes that have a porch/exterior light on.
• Sanitize your hands frequently.
• Parental supervision is required for younger children.

Residents:

▪ Turn off your porch light if you do not wish to participate.
▪ Limit interactions as much as possible and hand-out candy with tongs or with gloves on, or by setting up a “grab & go” station.

Questions may be directed to the Town Manager's office, (413) 528-1619 ext. 2.
