Halloween 2023: Trick-Or-Treating Hours Set In Oak Lawn

OAK LAWN, IL — Halloween is soon upon us. This year, Oct. 31, falls on a Tuesday, which means that Oak Lawn kids will be combing the streets for candy.

Despite a well-intentioned, but Draconian attempt to end trick-or-treating an hour earlier — not unlike the last well-intentioned Draconian attempt to shave off an hour in 2011 — Oak Lawn village trustees voted 5-1 at their last board meeting to keep the village’s trick-or-treating hours set from 3 t0 8 p.m.

Officials are asking residents to turn on exterior lights to show they are welcoming trick-or-treaters during that time.

There are plenty of trunk-or-treat events also happening in the Oak Lawn area leading up to the big day.
