Town of Abingdon releases information related to 2020 Halloween activities

Abingdon, Va families will be permitted to trick-or-treat for Halloween, but the town’s ordinance limits those who can participate.

A news release from the town says the ordinance allows only children 12 years and younger to trick-or-treat, which should be concluded by 10:00 p.m. The town is leaving the tradition to family discretion, as Washington County, Va is currently in the orange zone for COVID-19 cases. There are other Halloween related events scheduled in the town throughout October for those that do not want to trick-or-treat on Halloween night. We have a list of those events available below:

*October 24, 2020- Drive-Thru Trick or Treating – Haunted Hill at William King Regional Arts Museum from 5:30 PM-7:30 PM. Visit the Facebook event for more information.
