Expecting tens of thousands of people to descend upon the town, leaders said Sunday they are ready for the crowd, and were reminding people that alcohol is banned and there would not be much parking available near downtown.

Several downtown streets will be closed to vehicular traffic starting at 9 p.m., Oct. 31 -- when the bash is set to begin -- including:
Vehicles parked in the festival area will be towed beginning at 6 p.m., the town said. Vehicles that are illegally parked will be ticketed and towed, with a minimum recovery cost of $103.
Parking will be available in Town parking lots, including the Rosemary Street Deck, for $10 per vehicle. The town will also provide shuttle bus service from four Park-and-Ride Lots to two locations downtown for $5 (round-trip) and $3 (one-way trips):
Besides alcohol, items such as paint, fireworks, animals and coolers are banned from the event. Anything that can be used as a weapon or even looks like one is also not allowed, even if it is part of a costume, the town said.
The festivities are set to begin at 9 p.m. and end at about 1:30 a.m.
