Town of Kill Devil Hills

October 31, 2025

Happy Halloween! 

The Town of Kill Devil Hills wants all ghouls and buoys to stay safe when enjoying tonight's festivities. A few safety tips from the Captain’s Quarter:
 

Trick-or-treaters:

  • Add glow sticks or reflective tape to your costume so others can sea you coming.
  • Stay with your crew! Wee pirates sail with an adult captain at all times. Big kids: chart your course, stay with your crew, and return to your port at the designated time. 
  • Don’t climb aboard strangers’ ships (aka homes or cars), and check your loot before you chow down. 

Drivers:

  • Cruise slow — trick-or-treaters may appear faster than a fish trying to avoid becoming someone's dinner
  • Watch all roadways, crosswalks, and driveways like a hungry seagull (intently).
  • New drivers, drop anchor and enjoy the candy haul instead. 

 

Have a spook-tacular and safe Halloween, Kill Devil Hills! 

And beware of the sea-ghouls. . .
