But unfortunately, we&rsquo;re <em>still<\/em> in the middle of a pandemic, and Halloween during COVID-19 is going to be a little different. Trick-or-treating and costume parties will have to be limited to intimate gatherings, conference calls, or outdoor events that can be enjoyed from the safety of your vehicle&#8288;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the number of Halloween drive-thru events in the works, the latter option appears to be the most popular. Therefore, it&rsquo;s important to prepare your ride for the festivities.

While traditional trick-or-treating may not be safe for this year, there are plenty of ways for kids to get their fill of candies and sweets while staying safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of going door-to-door to ask for treats, neighbors can schedule a drive-by to deliver candies to each family&rsquo;s doorstep. This activity is a safe way for communities to celebrate Halloween together while maintaining proper social distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan on joining this type of activity, make sure that your car&rsquo;s headlights and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fog-light\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fog lights\">fog lights<\/a> are fully-functional, especially if these events are scheduled late in the afternoon or at night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you a weekend off-roading warrior?

Trick-or-trunk? Whatever you want to call it, this socially distant event is a great option for families who want to celebrate Halloween during COVID-19 with their communities. It&rsquo;s pretty much like a tailgate party, but instead of booze and ribs, people bring candy and all sorts of Halloween treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many local organizations are pushing through with their annual trunk-or-treat activities this year. However, for safety reasons, these events will be limited to a certain number of attendees.
