The City of Auburn has designated Friday, Oct. 30, 6–8 p.m. for neighborhood trick-or-treating because of the home football game that will take place on Oct. 31 against LSU. 

According to the City’s website, this change will allow for the police to better ensure the safety of trick-or-treaters.

“We’re asking everyone to trick-or-treat on the 30th instead of the 31st,” said Daniel Dorton, Auburn’s director of public affairs. 

Dorton stated that precautions taken to stymie the spread of COVID-19 will still be expected of trick-or-treaters. 

“[B]e aware that masks and social distancing are still in place at that time,” Dorton said. 

On Sept. 30, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey extended the order requiring all to wear masks in public places through Nov. 8.
