Safe and Spooky: Alaska Halloween Trick-or-Treating Tips
Community • Culture • Safety • Fun
Layer Up, Light Up!
Wear warm layers under your costume and add reflective tape or glow sticks — shine bright like the northern lights!
Stick Together Like a Village
Trick-or-treat with friends, cousins, or family — never alone! Set a meet-up spot just in case.
Walk Wise, Cross Smart
Walk, don’t run — and always cross at corners or crosswalks. Look both ways before crossing, even in small towns!
Warm Smiles and Kind Manners
Knock with kindness and say quyana or gunalchéesh. A friendly thank-you makes Halloween brighter for everyone.
Check Your Treats Before You Feast!
Have an adult look over your candy before you dig in. Every sweet treat should be safe — just like every smiling face.
Light the Path, Not the Woods
Stick to well-lit streets and familiar trails — no shortcuts through the forest
Keep the Chill Out, Keep the Fun In
Parkas, mittens, and bright scarves turn every costume into a cozy one! Even superheroes wear snow gear in Alaska.
Celebrate the Light in Our Long Nights
Share laughter, stories, and safe fun under the stars. Our ancestors watched the skies — tonight, we watch for cars!
Watch Out for Our Wild Neighbors
No candy is worth crossing paths with a moose or bear! Stay alert and keep food sealed tight.
End the Night with Gratitude
Cocoa, stories, and laughter — that’s the sweetest treat of all. Quyana for keeping our community safe and bright!
