Beverly Hills Enacts Halloween Night Ban on Shaving Cream and Silly String

| September 21, 2023

In an effort to maintain decorum and cleanliness during Halloween celebrations, the city of Beverly Hills has passed a local ordinance prohibiting the use of shaving cream and silly string on Halloween night. The decision comes as part of a broader initiative to ensure a safe and enjoyable Halloween experience for residents and visitors.

The ban on shaving cream and silly string, which goes into effect immediately, aims to curb the use of these items for pranks and vandalism, which have been a recurring issue during Halloween festivities in the affluent Los Angeles County community. City officials have expressed concerns about property damage, public disturbances, and the environmental impact of these products littering the streets.

Under the new ordinance, individuals caught using shaving cream or silly string in public spaces or on private property without permission on Halloween night may face fines or other penalties. City authorities have urged residents to find alternative ways to celebrate the holiday responsibly.

Beverly Hills joins several other municipalities across the United States that have implemented similar bans in the past to maintain order and protect public spaces during Halloween. The enforcement of such bans typically relies on local law enforcement and community cooperation.

While the ban has garnered support from residents who hope to prevent unwanted disruptions during the holiday, some have raised concerns about potential overreach and restrictions on personal freedom. Balancing the desire for festive celebrations with the need to preserve public spaces and safety remains a challenge for communities like Beverly Hills.

As Halloween approaches, the city will be closely monitoring compliance with the new ordinance and evaluating its effectiveness in curbing the use of shaving cream and silly string during the holiday festivities.
