Sonoma County Public Health Officer has issued COVID-19 Halloween guidelines that align with State Guidance to help us celebrate safely this year. Traditional door to door trick-or-treating is discouraged, so Recreation & Parks has planned some fun (and safe) Halloween activities for Santa Rosa families.

Halloween Photo Contest (All ages)

Are you proud of this year’s Halloween costume, or perhaps the way you've decorated your home, office or window? Well, we would love to see it! Please email your photo submissions to [email protected] by Thursday, October 22nd along with names and ages (under 18 only) of those in the photo. The top family-friendly submissions will be placed in the City Connections Newsletter, as well as posted on Facebook and Instagram.
