October in the City of York: A Month for Community, Celebration, and Safety
October brings plenty of opportunities to get out, get involved, and enjoy the City of York together. From family fun and youth esports to Trunk or Treat trails and our citywide Trick-or-Treat night, there is something for everyone to look forward to this month.
As we celebrate the season, October is also a good time to focus on what matters most: keeping our families, homes, and neighborhoods safe. This month, we recognize National Fire Prevention Month and encourage everyone to take a few simple steps to prepare, prevent emergencies, and protect the people we love.
I hope you’ll join us throughout October as we make the most of the season, support our youth, connect with our neighbors, and enjoy all that the City of York has to offer.
