Reminders on Halloween Trick or Treating Times, Safety

October 11, 2024 - With spooky season in full effect, the City of Midland reminds residents of trick-or-treating hours in the city for 2024.

Halloween is a nationally-recognized celebration. The City provides general guidelines each year for trick-or-treating times - every October 31 from 6 - 8 p.m. - but does not organize nor orchestrate any activities or events related to Halloween. Residents can trick-or-treat in the community if desired. This year's trick-or-treating hours in the city limits will take place on Thursday, October 31 from 6 - 8 p.m.

The Midland Police Department offers a few additional tips for ensuring safety during trick-or-treating:

• Dress children in light-colored, reflective clothing.
• If wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough to avoid visual obstruction.
• Adults should accompany children.
• Bring a flashlight.
• Cross the street only at corners or crosswalks when available.
• Have an adult check candy and other treats before they are eaten.
