Orange County, FL – Halloween is right around the corner, and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is inviting families to a safe and festive celebration this week. The department’s annual Trunk-or-Treat event will take place Thursday, October 30, from 6–8 p.m. at OCSO Headquarters (2500 W. Colonial Drive), offering decorated car trunks, candy, and plenty of family-friendly fun.
According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff John Mina is encouraging residents to enjoy the holiday safely. The department shared several Halloween safety reminders for trick-or-treaters:
- Stay alert and stick to sidewalks when walking.
- Use corners or crosswalks and look both ways before crossing.
- Avoid running between parked cars, and make yourself visible with bright costumes or glow sticks.
- Parents should check all candy before children eat it.
The Sheriff’s Office emphasized that safety remains the top priority during one of the busiest pedestrian nights of the year. Officers will also be present at the event to meet families and hand out treats.
Community members are encouraged to bring costumes, candy bags, and smiles for an evening of Halloween fun and safety awareness.
