A reminder regarding Halloween & Trick-or-Treating in Waltham

How you choose to celebrate Halloween this year, whether traditionally, modified, or with a lower risk activity, is up to you. Additionally, the City of Waltham does not designate specific hours for Trick-or-Treating. It is celebrated on Halloween (Sunday, 10/31), but hours are under the discretion of parents to decide.

We encourage all our residents to continue to remain vigilant against the spread of COVID-19, and to follow what best suits them and their families. Check out these helpful safety tips from Massgov (mass.gov/news/halloween-during-covid-19) to ensure a safe & happy Halloween for all!
