Halloween is almost here! October 31st falls on Tuesday this year. The Town does NOT designate a specific date or time for trick-or-treating.
Some neighborhoods may choose to schedule Halloween activities on different dates, so residents can verify with their neighborhood associations. Otherwise, a simple way to communicate treats are being passed out at your home is by turning your front porch lights on (or turn them off if you are not participating).
Whenever you head out, always prioritize SAFETY while trick-or-treating:
- Use flashlights, glow sticks, or reflective tape to increase visibility.
- Always go out with a group or an adult, never alone.
- Stay on sidewalks whenever possible, and look both ways before crossing streets.
- Stick to well-lit areas, don't dart between parked cars, and use crosswalks.
- Visit only homes with porch lights on.
- Drivers should be extra cautious and drive slowly through residential areas.
- Be cautious around lit candles in Halloween decorations.
*As an alternative to traditional trick-or-treating, a TRUNK OR TREAT event is planned at the Shelby County Sheriff Substation on Saturday, Oct. 28th from 5-7pm. It is open to the public, candy & treats will be given to attendees, and members of the SCSO and Arlington Fire will be participating.
Bring your chairs or quilt to the Crossing Amphitheater TONIGHT to enjoy music from Basketcase starting at 7pm. This final Music On The Square is sponsored by Patton Plumbing Heating & A/C and Spreading Sunshine.
In case you haven't heard, Forrest Steet is OPEN again!
Improvements may take time to get used to, so keep an eye out for new crosswalks & stop signs when traveling through the area.
Don't Miss Out!! Saturday, Oct 21st, is your last chance this year for both Music On The Square and the Arlington Crossing Market!
We know Halloween & Thanksgiving haven't happened yet, but Town staff are already thinking about Christmas! The Town is looking for volunteers for Christmas on the Square. We still need volunteers on the day of the event, a sponsor for the Toy Tent, more food trucks, and market vendors with homemade crafts.
The event is scheduled for December 1st. If you or somebody you know would like to participate, please reach out to the Parks Department 901.867.9555.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the U.S. NAVY! The Navy traces its roots to the early days of the American Revolution, back to Oct 13, 1775 and the Continental Congress. With thousands of ships and aircraft serving worldwide, the U.S. Navy of today is a force to be reckoned with.
Four (4) of our Town staff are Navy Veterans – Dale Estridge (Fire), Stephany Peterson (Planning), William Geyer (Fire), and Jeremy Credeur (Planning). Be sure to wish them a Happy Navy Birthday if you see them!
