Central and South American Halloween security measures

Overview

Authorities in several Central and South American nations have implemented various restrictions and security protocols to manage Halloween celebrations.

In Honduras, the mayor of La Libertad, Comayagua, announced a prohibition on Halloween celebrations, targeting event organizers, commercial establishments, and individuals planning costume parties. In Costa Rica, the Municipality of Montes de Oca coordinated with national and municipal police to manage anticipated mass motorcycle rallies, establishing an inter-institutional coordination group to address potential traffic disruptions and public order issues.

In Colombia, authorities in El Carmen, Norte de Santander, suspended Halloween celebrations and large crowd events due to a security crisis, stating that cultural activities may resume once security conditions improve. Meanwhile, in Samborondón, Ecuador, the municipal government prohibited paid parties in residential areas and gated communities following a traffic collapse caused by a massive event. This ban includes events with entrance fees or organized alcohol sales, with residential administrators held legally responsible for compliance.
