## Ascension Gears Up for Spooktacular Halloween with Extended Hours
Ascension Parish is preparing for a night of Halloween fun on October 29, 2025, with an announcement of extended hours for trick-or-treating and community events. The decision, aimed at maximizing safety and enjoyment for families across the parish, comes as anticipation builds for the annual celebration.
While the exact details of the extended hours are yet to be released, local authorities are emphasizing that the aim is to provide a designated timeframe for trick-or-treating that allows for daylight savings time adjustments and ensures children are off the streets before darkness fully descends. This will help improve visibility for both drivers and pedestrians, contributing to a safer environment for everyone involved.
"We understand the importance of Halloween for our community, especially for our children," a spokesperson for the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office stated. "By establishing clear and extended hours, we hope to create a more structured and secure environment for trick-or-treating, allowing families to celebrate responsibly and enjoy the evening to the fullest."
The announcement has been met with positive reactions from parents and community leaders. Many have expressed relief that the parish is proactively addressing safety concerns and providing a framework for a successful Halloween night. Local neighborhood associations are already planning block parties and community events that will coincide with the designated trick-or-treating hours.
"This is great news for Ascension," said Sarah Miller, a mother of two young children. "Knowing there's a specific timeframe for trick-or-treating gives us peace of mind and allows us to plan our evening accordingly. It also encourages everyone to be more mindful of safety."
Residents are encouraged to stay tuned for further announcements regarding the specific Halloween hours and any accompanying safety guidelines. The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office and other local organizations are expected to release additional information in the weeks leading up to October 29th, ensuring everyone is well-informed and prepared for a spooktacular and safe Halloween celebration. Community members are also encouraged to participate in local events and activities to foster a spirit of togetherness and responsible fun.
