Halloween 2025

Reminder for Motorists and Pedestrians  

Trick or treating in Kennebunk on October 31st - Motorists are reminded to drive slowly, stay alert, and follow posted speed limits, particularly in pedestrian-heavy areas. Pedestrians and trick-or-treaters are advised to use crosswalks for safe crossing and remain visible by wearing bright or reflective clothing.  

On October 31st 2025, the stretch of Summer Street between Park and Depot Streets will be open to both pedestrians and vehicular traffic; expect high volumes of pedestrians and delays. Drivers are urged to plan ahead and consider taking alternate routes to ease traffic congestion and ensure the safety of trick-or-treaters. Parents are encouraged to talk with their children about the open road status on Summer Street, using designated crossing points and wearing bright or reflective costumes.
