Village Officials Recommend Avoiding Trick-Or-Treating This Halloween

Press release from the Village of Libertyville:

The Village has historically provided guidance on trick-or-treating hours for Halloween along with certain safety precautions. This provides residents with notice as to when trick-or-treaters will be in the neighborhoods. While we recommend against trick-or-treating this year, the following are guidelines for those choosing to trick-or-treat.

Halloween 2020 comes with extra precautions. The Village has established trick-or-treat hours from 4-8 p.m. on October 31st with the understanding that parents and residents should utilize their own discretion to determine if trick-or-treating is an “at-risk” activity. To assist, the Village has developed guidance for participation in the tradition. The CDC considers trick-or-treating a high-risk activity.
