Miami Springs is known for having the BEST traditional door to door trick or treating in all of South Florida! The community comes alive with Halloween spirit, making it a favorite destination for families and trick-or-treaters.
As the anticipation builds, we expect to see the annual return of kids in costumes, lively crowds in the streets, and slightly warm weather tonight for Halloween. The Miami Springs community has been buzzing with excitement as homeowners eagerly prepare to welcome back the Halloween spirit.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DRIVERS:
Folks, there are going to be lots of kids walking on the streets. Slow down while driving. Treat interior residential areas with active trick or treaters like school zones. Drivers, be patient. And most importantly. Do not drink and drive.
PARENTS:
Bring flashlights. It’s dark in Miami Springs. Flash lights let you brighten up dark streets and sidewalks. There are lots of trip hazards along swales that may not be visible. Most importantly, flashlights help to alert drivers of your presence, especially when crossing or walking along our dark streets.
Glow sticks and bracelets are also great addition for children to wear to keep them visible on the streets. We know most kids don’t wear bright costumes and I’ve never seen anyone put reflective tape on a costume. A good ol’ fashion flashlight will do the best job.
POLICE PRESENCE
The Miami Springs Police Department always has a strong presence patrolling the streets on Halloween. If you see an erratic driver or anything else suspicious, contact the Miami Springs Police Department at 305.888.9711.
TRICK OR TREATING HOURS
The trick or treaters usually start after sunset or about 7pm. However, the peak volume of trick or treaters is typically between 8pm and 9pm. By 10pm, many residents turn off their lights as it’s a weekday and people have to work and go to school the next day.
HALLOWEEN HOME DECORATIONS
Expect some of the great Halloween decorations displayed by Miami Springs homeowners. We’d like to thank all the Miami Springs residents who will decorate their homes and roll out the red carpet to all the trick or treaters. Thanks in advance for giving a special night for countless children and their families. God bless you all, stay safe.
