Palatka, FL – Halloween festivities are in full swing across Putnam County tonight as families prepare for safe trick-or-treating events and community gatherings. Local law enforcement agencies are encouraging residents to attend one of several organized celebrations for a fun and secure evening.
According to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, the first event of the day — Boo on the Avenue — begins in downtown Palatka from 3 to 5:30 p.m. The Palatka Police Department will also host its 10th Annual Trunk-or-Treat later this evening at the riverfront, offering treats, games, and safety patrols for local children. Deputies will be on-site to greet families and hand out candy.
Meanwhile, Interlachen’s event is being held at the American Legion, and Crescent City will wrap up the night with its 5th Annual Trunk-or-Treat on Prospect Street from 6 to 8 p.m.
Authorities remind parents to bring flashlights, avoid dark clothing, and stick to walking-only neighborhoods where possible. “We look forward to seeing everyone and wish all families a safe and happy Halloween,” the Sheriff’s Office said.
