When Is Trick-Or-Treat In Cleveland Heights?

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — Official trick-or-treating hours in Cleveland Heights will be October 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Houses participating in the event should have the porch light illuminated.

Before costumed kiddies hit the streets, parents and residents should review safety tips and be cautious when driving on or roaming the roads. The city asked parents to accompany young children who go out trick-or-treating, and urged parents or solo trick-or-treaters to carry flashlights.

Besides turning on the porch light, residents passing out candy should also clear a path to the front door, removing any tripping hazards like sticks or garden hoses.

The city also offered the following safety tips for Halloween:

• Costumes should be safe for kids. Make sure the costumes have eye holes (if wearing masks), allow for peripheral vision and are fire proof.
• Don't go into the home of a stranger. Only visit houses with illuminated porch lights.
• Candy should be check by an adult before eaten.
• Unwrapped food or drinks should be thrown out and not consumed.
