Trick Or Treat Tips

The City does not have established trick-or-treating hours but recommends trick-or-treating during daylight hours. We suggest residents turn off their outdoor house light when they are finished giving out candy for the night. That will help the trick-or-treaters know to skip your house.

Follow these tips for a safe Halloween:

  • If children are allowed out after dark, fasten reflective tape to their costumes and bags or give them glow sticks.
  • Opt for nontoxic Halloween makeup over masks, which can obscure vision; always test makeup in a small area first to see if any irritation develops.
  • A responsible adult should accompany young children on the neighborhood rounds.
  • Children and adults are reminded to put electronic devices down, keep their heads up and walk, don't run across the street.
  • Watch for children walking on roadways, medians, and curbs.
