Thousands of Key Biscayne residents enjoyed an afternoon of fun trick or treating, where the biggest danger may have been from too much sugar, and the only mask controversy was how creative or colorful a person’s facial covering might be.
Key Biscayne police staffed a booth in the Village Green, greeting families and handing out treats, although for some little ones, even taking candy from a police officer caused a slight pause. Many streets were packed with trick-or-treaters, accompanied with parents who seemed to be having as much fun as children.
Temperatures were a balmy 81 in the late afternoon, with moderate humidity making wearing layers of costumes a bit more comfortable.
There was no official crowd estimate. Police did not report any significant incidents as of 9 p.m. Sunday
