Trick-or-Treating  is a tradition throughout the US, however this pandemic has gotten in the way, stopping the celebration.

El Paso, in particular, has proved that it’s ranked as one of the best places that celebrates Halloween and has the best ways for trick-or-treating. 

This pandemic has stopped the trick-or-treating fun, but it didn’t stop El Pasoans from decorating for the holiday. 

However, this year will be a different experience for everyone who loves the spooky season. 

Since there’s a worldwide pandemic occurring and practically the holiday was cancelled that is causing drastic changes on how Halloween is celebrated every year.

The City of El Paso canceled trick-or-treating this year since the city wanted to prevent the spread of the virus to kids and parents who might come in contact with those who might have the virus.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) placed guidelines and told Americans not to do trick-or-treating the usual way.  

It has been a tradition that has brought people together even in the most difficult times, even though this year the tradition cannot be celebrated. 

Though there are many regulations and guidelines to be followed this year, people across the country are staying true to their Halloween spirit and making the best of this year.
