The City of Covington has announced the official hours for trick-or-treating, which will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 31. Residents are encouraged to prepare for the event by organizing costumes, purchasing candy, and ensuring that sidewalks and steps are clear of obstacles.
City officials emphasize the importance of safety during this time. They advise being cautious when crossing streets and recommend that adults accompany young children while older children should travel in groups. Trick-or-treaters are advised to visit only houses with an outside light on and to decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers. Masks that obstruct vision should be avoided in favor of face paint or makeup, and children should carry glow sticks or flashlights to increase visibility for drivers. Costumes should not cause tripping hazards, and drivers are urged to slow down and remain alert.
In addition to trick-or-treating, Covington Parks & Recreation is hosting community events at Randolph Park's David Housley Pavilion. The second night of Pumpkin Carving Nights will take place tonight from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., with pumpkins and tools provided for participants. Following this, the annual Jack-O-Lantern Festival is scheduled for Saturday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., featuring various activities.
