City of Rockford issued the following announcement on Sept. 22.
The City has received several inquiries from residents asking if Halloween will take place this year.
Halloween is not a city sanctioned event, but rather a nationally recognized holiday. Participating in trick-or-treating is an individual decision. Other than announcing the suggested hours (5-8pm), the City has no further involvement.
However, all residents who participate should adhere to public health recommendations from the State and the Kent County Health Department. Be safe and use common sense such as: wear a mask (insert Halloween joke here); observe social distancing if not in the same household; If you are sick or have been exposed to COVID-19 you should not participate; and any other guidance from public health officials.
Be smart, be safe and have fun!
We are several weeks away from the Halloween, therefore, please continue to watch for updates from the City or public health officials.
