The City or Gary has announced their 2023 trick-or-treat hours. Trick-or-Treat will run from 4:00PM-7:30PM on Tuesday October 31, 2023.
We'd like to offer a few tips to make your Halloween safe and fun:
Never let children trick-or-treat alone
Have some reflective material, a flashlight or use glow sticks so you are more visible in the dark
Have a grown up check all candy before eating any
Never go inside a strangers house to get your candy
Whenever possible cross at a corner with a crosswalk and not in the middle of the street
Use sidewalks whenever possible
Do not accept open or homemade treats
Stay with your group
Truck-or-treat events are a good option for smaller children. The City of Gary Harvest Fest will take place at the Hudson Campbell parking lot (indoors if there's rain) from 4Pm-6PM on Halloween.

Be careful this week!! Thursday, be safe. Only go out as necessary on Friday!!

Gary Mayor Jerome A. Prince today invited all residents, businesses and community groups to join “All In Gary!,” a massive, two-day clean-up project and an ongoing campaign.

Mayor Prince said this is an all-hands-on-deck opportunity for City employees, residents and everyone who calls Gary home. The campaign will launch on Sept. 17th and Sept. 18th, and it will feature two monthly clean-up drives that will help improve every neighborhood in Gary, he said.

“One of my top areas of focus is cleaning up our City, and this campaign is a great way to get everyone involved from the very beginning and keep us focused,” Mayor Prince said. “We all want to look out of our windows and see clean streets and yards, and we all can pitch in to make it happen.”
The September launch of “All In Gary!” coincides with National Cleanup Month. Gary’s General Services crews have already begun major cleanup projects leading up to the two-day event.

On Sept. 17th and 18th, City employees will spread across Gary thoroughly cleaning up main entry points into the City. On Sat., Sep. 18th, crews will fan out across Gary picking up debris gathered by residents, businesses and community groups.

After the launch of the campaign, City employees acting as volunteers and crews with heavy equipment will be available to help with twice monthly clean-up projects in every neighborhood of the City, Mayor Prince said.

Businesses and community groups, such as block clubs, the NAACP and the Urban League of Northwest Indiana, and schools will be invited to join in the campaign. Those who want volunteers and heavy equipment may complete a simple application to get the help, Mayor Prince said.
For example, volunteers and equipment will be available twice in October and November, just before winter begins, and it will resume in early spring, said campaign organizer Rachelle Morgan-Ceasar.

“This is a sustained cleanup campaign, not just a one-and-done moment,” she said. “Gary residents, community groups and businesses want a clean city, and we’ll work with them to make it happen.
