Halloween Celebrations Discouraged Via Board Vote

This week the Shorewood Village Board voted 7-0 to refrain from setting official trick-or-treat hours this year.

The board is encouraging residents to follow the NSHD and CDC guidelines by finding alternative ways to celebrate the holiday this year.

In June 15, 2020, the Village Board scheduled community trick-or-treating on October 31 from 4
p.m. – 7 p.m.

However, in September the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Wisconsin Department
of Health Services stated that trick-or-treating has the potential to spread the virus
that causes COVID-19.

There are no other communities in Milwaukee County that have canceled a previously
scheduled trick-or-treating so far.

The other six North Shore communities anticipate moving forward with their plans as scheduled.

Bayside has already scheduled their event and has received positive support for holding it; the item is anticipated to be confirmed by their Village Board on 10/15.

Brown Deer and Glendale are not listing this item for discussion with the Village Board.

Fox Point is not listing this item for discussion with the Village Board. They have received positive support for holding the event.

River Hills will have the issued listed on the 10/21 agenda, but anticipated to confirm the event.
