To provide safe passage for the foot parade and for trick-or-treaters during the annual community Halloween festivities, the Town of Lyons will close Main St from 3rd Ave to 5th Ave from 5 p.m. until approximately 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 28, 2023. Side street traffic will be also be detoured accordingly. Traffic will be routed along Broadway with one lane in each direction (westbound and eastbound).
The closures are intended to increase safe passage for pedestrians (kids and parents), while at the same time allowing businesses, residents and guests to participate in the Halloween festivities. The closures will be set up and enforced by officers from the Boulder County Sherriff's Department, who will be stationed throughout downtown for safety. The Town of Lyons encourages residents to bring their children to the Lyons Elementary School and then downtown for a safe and fun Halloween celebration provided by the community’s local businesses, the Town and local non-profits.
Trick-or-treating families are encouraged to follow these safety tips:
· Costumes should be highly visible with reflective materials.
· To prevent tripping, costumes should not drag on the ground.
· Props should not have sharp edges that could cause injury.
· Carry a flashlight after dark.
· Walk, don’t run.
