🎃 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 🎃

Halloween is right around the corner. Please take note of the following street closures to accommodate increased pedestrian traffic.

📅 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞: Saturday, October 31, 2026
🕑 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
📍 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: NW 3rd Street from N Elm to N Pine Street.
Added this year — N Vine Street from NW 3rd Street to W 1st Street.

Residents along the route are asked to remove parked vehicles from the street before the closure begins to keep the streets clear for pedestrians and emergency access. Residents who do not plan to hand out candy are asked to turn off outdoor lights so trick-or-treaters know to skip their home.

We appreciate cooperation with the temporary street closures and everyone’s help keeping pedestrians safe on Halloween

We’ve been made aware of scam messages asking for payment for planning and zoning applications.

These messages may look like they’re coming from the city and may ask for payment by wire transfer or ACH.

If you receive a message like this:
• Do not send payment or provide financial information
• Do not click on links
• If you are unsure, contact the Community Development office using known city contact information, not the contact information listed in the message.

Lieutenant Reynolds and Officer Kobiskie had a great evening spending some time at the 5th Annual Back to School Carnival, alongside our friends at the Abilene Fire Department! 🚓🚒

It was wonderful to see so many members of our community come together, enjoy the activities, and celebrate the start of another school year. We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with the families and students we are proud to serve.

A big THANK YOU to the amazing staff at Abilene PK-5 Schools for putting together such a wonderful event for our community! Your hard work and dedication made it a great time for everyone. ❤️

We look forward to seeing everyone throughout the school year! 📚🍎
