Halloween is a fun time of year, full of spooky celebrations and activities! But we also want to remind everyone to stay safe while having fun this holiday! Below are some safety tips! If you plan on driving tonight, don’t forget to be extra cautious, as many excited trick-or-treaters will be walking door to door to collect candy.
Make sure to stay safe on the roads tonight by following these safety rules:
🚘 Slow down and be alert in residential areas
🚘 Be aware that children may pop out at any time around corners
🚘 Put down your phone while driving
🚘 Avoid driving on dark roads
If you plan on trick-or-treating tonight, here are some safety tips:
🍬 🎃 Bring a flashlight
🍬 🎃 Wear bright clothing over your costumes
🍬 🎃 Make sure your children don’t run out into the road
🍬 🎃 Avoid wearing masks that make it difficult to see while walking

This past weekend, Norwalk held its Annual Halloween Nightfair on Washington Street, and it was a huge success! We want to thank everyone who came out to enjoy our Halloween festivities. We would also like to thank our local vendors for participating in the event and ARC Sound Stage Lighting for helping put on this year’s musical performances. We can’t wait for next year’s Halloween Nightfair event! The City transformed Washington Street into a Halloween extravaganza featuring a series of Halloween-themed activities, including pumpkin painting, bounce houses, games, a Trick or Treat Trail, a chance to meet the Sanderson Sisters from Disney’s Hocus Pocus and MORE!
Attendees enjoyed a Trick or Treat Trail, collecting candy and interacting with local vendors. Halloween activity bags were available for purchase, containing a pumpkin painting kit and an array of fun activities, along with a 10% discount to visit one of our local South Norwalk restaurants!
Finally, we hope everyone enjoyed the incredible performances by several DJs and bands, including Edisun, an American rock band, Similar Kind, a local indie pop band; a DJ set by MAAHEZ; and a DJ set by Goodboys, an English House music group!
