MAYOR'S MESSAGE Happy Halloween! Have Fun. Enjoy the Costumes. Stay Safe. Today, October 30, the streets of Downtown Coos Bay will be filled with little ghosts, goblins, and plenty of creative costumes as the Coos Bay Downtown Association (CBDA) hosts its annual Trick-or-Treat event! More than 100 businesses are expected to participate, with potentially more than 1,000 children and families visiting the Downtown District, including Front Street and the Coos Bay Village area. Participating businesses will display a large orange flyer in their windows. If you’re in the area, stop by to enjoy the festive costumes and help make this a fun, happy, and safe event for everyone. The event runs from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on October 30, 2026. The City of Coos Bay is proud to support this annual tradition. Be sure to stop by City Hall, the Coos Bay Public Library, and Coos Bay Fire Station, where City staff will be handing out candy. With Halloween tomorrow, October 31, we also encourage everyone to take extra care on the roads. Please slow down, stay alert, and watch carefully for children and families in residential areas as trick-or-treaters head out for Halloween festivities. The Coos Bay Fire Department will also be visiting various residential neighborhoods throughout town on Halloween to pass out candy to trick-or-treaters. A heartfelt thank-you to all the local businesses and community partners who help make this annual tradition possible. Have fun, enjoy the costumes, and stay safe! -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay

SNAPSHOTS & SERENITY AT THE LIBRARY There’s lots happening at the Coos Bay Public Library! Our November Photo Contest is underway, and we have so many great entries! Photos will be displayed throughout the month of November and we want your vote. Vote for your favorite photograph each time you come to the Library. Just come to the front desk for your ballot and select the photograph that you think best meets our theme for this year, “ Worth a Thousand Words.” We are still looking for photographs of your veterans for our Veterans Day photo display. If you or someone you know was/is a military veteran, bring us a photo of that person. We will scan the photo and give it back to you. Photos will be displayed in our front display case in the month of November. The Library is beginning a new program for the winter, Hygge and relaxation. It is for Teens and Adults who need a little quiet time away from the house. Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a Danish and Norwegian cultural concept that describes a deep sense of coziness, comfort, contentment, and everyday well-being. Come into the Library on Saturday morning before we open and enjoy the quiet atmosphere to read a book, do a puzzle, or color a picture. Warm drinks will be provided to help you fully relax and enjoy the Library during its most quiet time. Feel free to bring a cozy blanket or pillow. The Library door will be open from 10:30-10:45 a.m. to let program participants enter the Library, after which no entry will be allowed. There will be no library services (computers, check out) available during this time. If you would like to enjoy a little quiet time to read, puzzle, color, or just think join us and find your hygge. November 7 and 21, December 5 and 19, January 2 and 16.Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post
