Kids of all ages can’t wait to go trick-or-treating on Halloween and we finally have your 2020 TRICK-OR-TREAT HOURS and guidelines plus Halloween events happening in Baton Rouge and beyond! Because 2020 feels like a long episode of The Twilight Zone, many have been wondering what trick-or-treating will look like this year. Traditional Halloween activities are fun, but some can increase the risk of getting or spreading COVID-19. 

“East Baton Rouge Parish is on the right path to slowing the spread of the coronavirus, and we must work together to ensure we continue on this path,” said Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome in a statement. 

Make trick-or-treating safer

  • Avoid direct contact with trick-or-treaters.
  • Give out treats outdoors, if possible.
  • Set up a station with individually bagged treats for kids to take.
  • Wash hands before handling treats.
  • Wear a mask.

While every effort has been made to ensure this information is accurate, we encourage you to verify that all details are correct and have not changed. If you have information on a Trunk-or-Treat that we missed, please let us know!

HRPO personnel will explain what the magnitude scale is, and then will ultilize the stars Vega, Fomalhaut, Polaris and Albireo to illustrate how dim stars get as one progresses down the ladder of the scale.

⭐ 8-10 p.m. – EVENT: Ganymede Transits in Front of Jupiter

Baton Rouge Splash Pad Parks & Pools – Now Open

June 21, 2020 by Baton Rouge Family Fun

Baton Rouge Splash Pad Parks & Pools have reopened, and along with that come special guidelines to help protect visitors and prevent the spread of COVID-19. BREC announced that splash pads will open at noon and hours of operation will be split into sessions to allow for sanitizing. Capacity is a max of 40 for all splash pads & CDC guidelines are in place. Session info: Session 1 – 12-2:30 p.m. Session 2 – 4-6:30 p.m.

Is it safe?

With the reopening of playgrounds and splash pads, and the warm weather of summer here, parents and caregivers may wonder if it’s safe for them and their children to visit playgrounds or splash pads.

The New York Times noted that outdoor spaces are safer than being indoors when around other people. However, visiting a playground filled with children and their families isn’t ideal. The newspaper cites Massachusetts state guidelines, which say playground operators should limit capacity, or if unstaffed, families should seek out a less crowded facility. Sunlight could help to lower the amount of virus on a surface, but whether or not that’s true for playgrounds is unknown, the Times article said.

This entertained them for hours!
