Costume? Check. Candy? Check. Bucket? Check. But do you know what time trick-or-treating takes place in your neighborhood on Halloween for 2024?
This year, Oct. 31 falls on a Thursday, and Chicago as well as the surrounding suburbs have specific trick-or-treat times designated by their local government or village. In some cases, trick-or-treating starts as early as 10 a.m., or takes place on a day other than Halloween.
In Chicago, trick-or-treat times typically vary by neighborhood or community. In years past, the city has not designated trick-or-treat hours.
Many suburbs however do release trick-or-treat hours for Halloween. Here's a look at several suburbs across the Chicago area, and when trick-or-treating takes place.
