Halloween in Danbury: No Trick or Treating on Deer Hill Ave, No Face to Face Contact, Leave Candy Outside

Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton made a few important announcements on his Facebook Page regarding Phase 3 reopening as well as Halloween. Please read below:
 
Halloween
  • Those homeowners that wish to participate in Halloween should use a bowl or box to place candy outside - avoiding face to face contact
  • Do not give out candy at the door - this is considered a high risk activity for transmission of the virus
  • If you do not wish to participate in Halloween, please leave your outside light off. We are asking people to respect the decision of homeowners.
  • Finally, Deer Hill Ave., a popular trick or treating location, is not open for trick or treating this year.
Private house parties (indoor and outdoor)
 
The State has clarified that under Phase 3 - private house parties whether they are indoor or outdoor, are limited to 25 people. We've had a large number of house parties this past weekend. In the future, we will be conducting enforcement action with our Health Department and Danbury PD as needed.
