New Trier Township Trick-Or-Treating Hours 2026

WINNETKA, IL — Halloween is creeping up fast, so it's almost time to put finishing touches on costumes and stock up on candy for trick-or-treaters.

This year, Oct. 31 falls on a Saturday, and trick or treat hours in Winnetka, Wilmette and Northfield will be from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Over in Glencoe, trick-or-treating in neighborhoods is recommended between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., but families can also stop by the downtown area on Oct. 30 for daytime festivities from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Glencoe Village Hall will be transformed for “Village Hall-oween,” offering spooky treats, while the Glencoe Historical Society presents “Ghosts of the Garden” at Eklund Garden, promising a full day of family-friendly frights.

In Kenilworth, trick-or-treaters are encouraged to head out after school, beginning at 3:15 p.m., with festivities wrapping up around 8 p.m.

Parents should keep the following tips in mind to ensure everyone stays safe during the holiday:

• Only approach houses with porch lights on during trick-or-treating hours.
• Stay in groups.
• Always stay on sidewalks when possible.
• Cross streets at intersections instead of the middle of the street or between cars.
• Drivers should slow down and be alert.
• Flashlights or glow sticks can help with visibility.
• A responsible adult should accompany young children.
• Put electronic devices down, keep heads up and walk, don't run, across the street.
