Trick-or-Treat 
Tuesday, October 31 
6:00 – 8:00 P.M. 
At participating houses  

 
Halloween is just around the corner and is a fun time of year for kids (and kids at heart) to get a chance to dress up, decorate, carve pumpkins, and share in some spooky fun!  

Trick-or-treat is a popular annual community-driven event! On Halloween night, community members come together to facilitate Trick-or-Treating all around the community – join the fun!   

 

HOW TO PARTICIPATE 

If you plan to participate, we recommend participating in both of the following ways: 

Hand out treats to trick-or-treaters 

If you want to make your home the ultimate trick-or-treat destination, consider putting up some spooky decorations like jack-o-lanterns, cobwebs, and creepy creatures. When the children come knocking on your door, be sure to complement their costumes and hand out some tasty treats. 

To indicate that your house is participating, please register to have your house added to the Trick-or-Treat map.  

 

Take your children house-to-house to trick-or-treat 

To make Halloween more exciting for your children, you can take them house-to-house to trick-or-treat. Encourage them to wear a costume they love and visit participating houses. When they reach a house, they can say β€œtrick-or-treat!” and hopefully receive a treat. 

To identify participating houses, visit the Trick or Treat Map
