(La Porte, IN) - Trick or treating is still on in the city of La Porte.

Given the concerns about coronavirus, Mayor Tom Dermody said it’s perfectly alright if people don’t want to take part in handing out candy and those welcoming children to their doorsteps should do it safely.  He said trick or treaters should also wear a mask and practice social distancing.

Dermody also advised trick or treaters to stay in one area instead of going throughout the city to help reduce the risk.  “We want kids to have some normalcy during this pandemic but be smart about it,” Dermody said.

Trick or Treat in La Porte will take place on Saturday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
