Halloween in The Bronx

October 16, 2013 by Bronx-PR

Halloween in The BronxFor many kids Halloween is the time of the year to dress up in their favorite costumes and feast on candy.  The Bronx has many family friendly events that will be fun for everyone.  Before I list some of the fun things happening until the 31st of October here are some Safety Tips for Halloween from the New York Police Department:

  • An adult should always examine Halloween treats before children eat them. Never eat open or unwrapped Halloween foods.
  • Costumes should be flame-retardant and should allow children to walk freely without tripping.
  • Children’s ability to see, hear, and move should not be impaired by unwieldy masks.
  • Make certain that any face paint or make-up used on skin or costumes is non-toxic.
  • Extra care should be taken on streets and at crossings, especially at dusk and after dark.
  • Children should carry a flashlight and wear reflective or bright colored clothing at night.
  • Emergency identification information should be placed discreetly inside clothing of small children, in case of accidental separation.
  • Avoid having children wear their names outwardly on clothing or jewelry which may allow a stranger to call them by name and appear to know them.
  • As always, children should be cautioned to avoid strangers, as well as poorly-lit areas and homes of people they do not know.

Remember this is our borough and WE set the tone in our community.  Let’s make every outing a healthy and safe experience for everyone.
