City of Marion issued the following announcement on Oct. 2.
Marion’s Downtown Trick-or-Treating and Fall Festival event originally scheduled for Tuesday, October 26, has been canceled because of the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic.
Families are encouraged to explore alternative ways of celebrating Halloween to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus.
Some alternative ways of celebrating Halloween include carving or decorating pumpkins with members of your household, decorating your house and holding a spooky scavenger hunt around your property for treats, and hosting an outdoor Halloween movie night that allows individuals to socially distance themselves from individuals from other households.
As a reminder, it is a parent’s choice as to whether or not their family will participates in Trick-or-Treating.
Families who do decide to participate in traditional Trick-or-Treating are encouraged to do so on Saturday, October 30, since it is the City’s tradition that Halloween be celebrated on a Saturday if the holiday falls on a Sunday.
Citizens are encouraged to review the CDC’s guidelines for safely celebrating Halloween.
