The city of Sedona Police Department will help with safety at the annual trick-or-treat Halloween event in Uptown Sedona on Monday, Oct. 31, between 5 and 8 p.m.
This free event is coordinated by the Sedona Main Street Program and allows for Uptown merchants to welcome all children and their parents to visit their storefronts along Highway 89A for trick-or-treating.
Jordan Road will be closed between State Route 89A and Mesquite Avenue from 3 to 8:30 p.m., and city of Sedona Police Volunteers, Community Service Aides and officers will be on hand to direct traffic at all the crosswalks in Uptown.
Parents are reminded that when getting children dressed in their costumes, make sure they are visible to drivers and also costumes don’t limit their children’s visibility. Additionally, before going trick-or-treating, parents are encouraged to identify a spot such as the front of a specific store, to meet up with their children if they get separated.
“Safety of children and their parents is our priority on Halloween, and we hope these measures enable everyone to have a fun, safe evening,” SPD Lt. James Pott said.
