What Are Trick-Or-Treating Hours In Romeoville?

ROMEOVILLE, IL — It's no trick — kids in Romeoville will get a full three hours to go door-to-door collecting candy this Halloween. Trick-or-treating hours are set for 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 31, according to the Village of Romeoville. The hours are the same in nearby Joliet, Lockport and Bolingbrook, and Plainfield's hours are 4 to 8 p.m.

Some 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.
