While you are having some Halloween fun, remember to be cognizant of your surroundings, stay in groups, and ensure that you are looking out for those around you. With most Halloween activities happening at night, and 16% of students feeling more unsafe after dark, it is important that you celebrate Halloween responsibly. Remember, the Red Zone period is still ongoing—check out our Red Zone page for resources to help keep yourself and others safe.

Here at WUSA, we wish you all a spooktacular and safe Halloween, and we look forward to seeing you at these events!
