Halloween 2015: Cedar Park to Host Halloween in the Hall

Want to celebrate Halloween, a day early?

Cedar Park is throwing an event for you.

On Friday Oct. 30, head over to the Cedar Park City Hall in the afternoon for Halloween in the Hall. The event is located at 450 Cypress Creek Ridge, buildings 1-3 and will go from 3-5 p.m. Families are encouraged to come in costume, so even if it’s not technically Halloween why not have some fun?

There will also be many activities at the city hall for Halloween in the Hall. Kids, who may be dressed as police officers or firefighters, will have the opportunity to explore emergency vehicles. And of course, any Halloween event wouldn’t be complete without candy.

If Halloween in the Hall doesn’t satisfy all your holiday needs, and you do decide to go trick-or-treating the next day, the CDC has published a helpful list of tips to stay safe and be healthy.

Swords, knives, and other costume accessories should be short, soft, and flexible.

Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.

Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.

Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Limit the amount of treats you eat.

Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you. Always WALK and don’t run from house to house.

Always test make-up in a small area first. Remove it before bedtime to prevent possible skin and eye irritation.

Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible.

Lower your risk for serious eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses.

Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.

Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.

Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.

Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. Never accept rides from strangers.

Never walk near lit candles or luminaries. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.
