As dusk falls on Plymouth this Halloween, the ghosts and goblins will be out in full force, but not to haunt – just to gather candy and celebrate the annual Halloween on Main event. The local police department took to social media to outline the details of the evening, aimed at ensuring the safety of all spirited participants. In a social media post on their official Facebook page, the Plymouth Police Department have notified the public of the forthcoming festivities, which are set to transform Main Street into an avenue of whimsical costumes and treats today, October 31, 2025, from 3PM to 5PM. Families looking to take part in the spooktacular gathering should be aware of the associated road closures and parking restrictions, which promise a pedestrian-friendly haunt.
Witches on broomsticks won't be the only ones finding parking tricky, as from 12 PM, no parking will be permitted on Main Street stretching from Leyden Street to S. Russell Street. This move is necessitated to make room for the trick-or-treaters and those accompanying them, leaving earthly vehicles to seek space elsewhere to rest their wheels. Main Street is set to see closures starting at 3 PM, with barriers rising at Leyden Street preventing through-traffic, according to the Plymouth Police Department's post. Motorists will need to divert to Market Street as if led by an unseen hand. The maze of detours continues with Court Street at Russell Street and Water Street at Brewster Street sealed off from through-traffic, funneling cars away as if by magic.
The Halloween on Main event isn't the only star of Friday night's show – traffic diversions will also play a significant role. For those bewitched by the desire to use the public parking garage, fret not, as the garage at South Russell Street will remain open, even as the streets around are held captive by festive barriers. However, drivers won't be able to enter from South Russell Street at School Street, which will also be behind the veil of closures. The Plymouth Police Department emphasizes the importance of these precautions, not just as a means to ward off vehicular spirits, but to ensure a safe space for the community's youngest ghouls and princesses.
