Trick-Or-Treating Hours Set For Bolingbrook

BOLINGBROOK, IL — Halloween trick-or-treating hours in Bolingbrook will be held from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Oct. 31. Residents who would prefer not to have kids come to their door for trick-or-treating should turn off their porch lights, village officials recommended.

Ahead of the Halloween activity, here is a list of recommendations from Bolingbrook officials and the Bolingbrook police and fire departments.

• Turn on your porch light if you want to be visited by trick-or-treaters
• Have one person hand out candy, and wear gloves if possible
• trick-or-treaters should only visit houses/apartments of people they know
• Children should use sidewalks where available and walk, not run, between houses
• Use caution when crossing streets, and only cross at intersections when clear of traffic
• Costumes should be light and bright, so they are clearly visible to motorists, and it is suggested that trick-or-treaters carry a flashlight
• Parents should inspect candy and goodies before allowing children to consume
• Motorists should take extra caution when driving during trick-or-treat hours
• Know which friend(s) your child is traveling with, if not accompanied by an adult
• The Bolingbrook Police Department will have additional officers patrolling during the posted hours
• The Bolingbrook Fire Department advises using battery operated lights (not candles) to illuminate jack-o'-lanterns to avoid any contact with flammable materials if the pumpkin gets knocked over
