Westford Trick-or-Treating Is Friday

Trick-or-treating will be held in Westford Friday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The forecast calls for partly cloudy skies, with a high in the mid-50s.

Westford police issued the following safety tips:

• A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds.
• If your older children are going alone, plan and review the route that is acceptable to you. Agree on a specific time when they should return home.
• Remember reflective tape for costumes and trick-or-treat bags.
• Carry a cellphone for quick communication.
• Only cross the street as a group in established crosswalks (as recognized by local custom). Never cross between parked cars or out driveways.
• Don’t assume the right of way. Motorists may have trouble seeing Trick-or-Treaters. Just because one car stops, doesn’t mean others will!

If you’re looking for haunted hayrides, there’s Witch’s Woods. The venue also has a “screampark.”

And here’s a map of pick-your-own pumpkin farms in the area.
