While the thrill of the season is undeniably infectious, it's essential to prioritize safety above all else. Whether you're exploring haunted houses, attending costume parties, or trick-or-treating with loved ones, here are a few tips to ensure your Halloween adventure remains spooktacular:
- Designate a Driver: If you plan to indulge in libations during your festivities, be sure to designate a sober driver or use a ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft. Let's keep our streets safe for everyone. Also, remember that many events are 21+ and will require a valid ID.
- Bags and Re-entry: Be sure to check the venue's bag and re-entry policies as rules may apply.
- Mind the Costume: While elaborate costumes are a Halloween tradition, ensure they don't impede your movement or vision. Comfort and safety should always come first!
- Look Out for Each Other: Finally, Halloween is a time to come together and enjoy the company of friends and family. Look out for one another and ensure everyone has a great time safely.
Let's embrace the Halloween spirit and make memorable adventures . From all of us at Downtown Tulsa Partnership, we wish you a spooky and safe Halloween in Downtown Tulsa. May your night be filled with treats, not tricks! See you there, partygoers!
