Halloween 2023: Glenview Announces Trick-Or-Treating Hours

GLENVIEW, IL — With Halloween a little over a month away, residents can start planning whether they have little ones going out to trick-or-treat or they need to head to the store for some candy.

For those who choose to participate in the holiday on Tuesday, Oct. 31, the Village of Glenview recently announced the hours of between 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

"We want to keep Glenview's young ghouls, goblins and ghosts safe this Halloween," the Village said on its website.

Check out the following tips to "keep in mind if your kids haunt the neighborhood" from the Village:

• Accompany children (or send an older sibling) and make sure they don't enter anyone's home without your permission.
• Map out a trick-or-treat route for your children to follow.
• Make sure kids cross only at corners — and look in all directions first. Remind them to use sidewalks or walk facing traffic so approaching cars can be seen.
• Caution them against crossing the street between parked cars, where drivers can't see them.
• Warn children not to eat any goodies until you've had a chance to inspect them. When in doubt, throw it out.
• Residents can make known whether they do or don't welcome trick-or-treaters by posting a sign in their window. Find PDFS of signs here.
