What Are Trick-Or-Treating Hours In Plainfield?

Local ghouls and goblins will get a full four hours to get their fill of candy.

PLAINFIELD, IL — It's no trick — kids in Plainfield will get a full four hours to go door-to-door collecting candy this Halloween. Trick-or-treating hours are set for 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 31, according to the Village of Plainfield.

Safety tips to prevent Halloween from being truly scary this year:

  • 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.
