When Are Halloween Trick-or-Treating Times in Palatine?

PALATINE, IL — Halloween is here, which means Palatine children will be visiting homes around the village, looking for candy and other sweets.

Trick-or-treating hours in Palatine will be from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31.

The village offers the following safety tips to make sure kids have fun while they're out and about on Halloween:

• Trick or treat with an adult.
• Stick to the village's designated trick-or-treat time and pick subdivisions and areas with many homes.
• Plan a safe route so you know where your children are at all times. Set a time for their return home. If your child goes out with just friends, make sure he or she has a cell phone.
• Stay with a group if trick-or-treating without an adult. Let parents know who you are with and where you are going.
• Stay in well-lighted, populated areas and do not wander off alone.
• Do not eat any treats until they are examined by an adult.
• Never enter a stranger's home, back or side yard or get into a stranger’s car. Call 911 or go to a neighbor’s house for help if in trouble or a stranger bothers you.
• Carry a flashlight, glow stick or wear reflective tape to make costumes more visible to cars.
• Make sure costumes are flame retardant or have been treated with fire retardant spray.
• Avoid masks that limit vision. Use make-up instead.
• This is a fun day. Palatine does not tolerate vandalism. Damaging property is a crime
