Halloween is not cancelled! No matter where you live, even if it’s not safe to go out trick or treating, Halloween can still happen for the kids (and let’s face it, we find it fun too!). These Social Distancing Halloween Ideas will give you inspiration for adapting your Halloween celebration for the rules and circumstances where you live.

Others are also setting up hand sanitizer stations in front of their houses to further encourage a safer Halloween night. Check out a few more ideas below.
