Trick-or-treating is one of the most beloved traditions of Halloween, but creating a safe, successful, and engaging neighborhood event takes planning, communication, and community support.
Join Kelley Stein, co-founder of the 10/31 Consortium, for a practical workshop designed to help neighborhood associations, community leaders, and volunteers bring Halloween magic back to their streets. Drawing from years of experience organizing community Halloween initiatives through the 10/31 Consortium, Kelley will share strategies for increasing participation, building partnerships, and creating a memorable experience for families.
Topics will include:
- Encouraging neighbors and families to participate
- Creating excitement and building community engagement
- Partnering with local businesses for support and sponsorships
- Applying for costume and candy assistance through community programs
- Planning resources, volunteers, and event logistics
- Building a safe and welcoming environment for all participants
A representative from the Baton Rouge Police Department will also discuss pedestrian safety, traffic calming strategies, and considerations for creating safer neighborhood streets during Halloween events.
Whether you are part of a neighborhood association, community group, school, church, or simply want to bring more Halloween spirit to your area, this workshop will provide practical tools and ideas to help you create a safe, fun, and successful trick-or-treat experience.
Together, we can make Halloween safer, stronger, and more magical for every neighborhood.
