WELCOME TO BETTERTON

Halloween Decorating Contest

The Town of Betterton is holding a Halloween Decorating Contest. Houses/Yards will be judged based on creativity and effort. Winners can choose a gift certificate to Barbara’s on the Bay or Marzella’s. Houses will be judged on 10/30 and 10/31. To participate, please email Elizabeth Greenwell, Town Manager, at egreenwell@townofbetterton.com.

Trick or Treating 2020

The Town of Betterton does not regulate Halloween. The town does, however, provide recommended hours for Trick-or-Treating so that the Sheriff’s office can provide additional patrols to help ensure everyone’s safety. Trick-or-treating hours will be October 31st from 5 pm – 7 pm rain or shine.

Due to COVID-19 you may or may not feel comfortable handing out candy or allowing your children to trick-or-treat. That is a decision for your family to make. If you do choose to participate, we recommend following the CDC’s guidelines for Halloween including wearing masks and social distancing. If you are handing out candy, please put candy in bags that are separated on your step so that trick-or-treaters can maintain a six foot distance and candy is not being touched by multiple people. We hope you have a happy Halloween!
