The Halloween on South 2nd Street in Eunice will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. today.
Elsewhere in the city, trick-or-treat hours are 6 to 8 p.m.
The downtown event includes booths where trick-or-treaters go from booth to booth collecting treats.
The downtown event will be held no matter what the weather is — and it is to be on the cool side this afternoon.
The free event is to include a fun jump and games.
The Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Office offered the following safety tips for Halloween.
— Know the area you are taking the children out to trick or treat.
— Residences with no lights on, means that they are not participating. Please respect their decision.
— Inspect your children’s candy. Opened or unwrapped candy should not be eaten unless received from a known source.
— Walk in groups and utilize lights or reflective clothing for safety.
— Drivers need to be aware of their surroundings and expect delays. Drive slow and cautiously.
