Greendale Trick Or Treat Time And Halloween Safety Tips

GREENDALE, WI — Greendale's 2021 trick or treat has been scheduled to take place 4-7 p.m. on Oct. 31. The Halloween parade also plans to return this year.

The annual Halloween celebration was almost canceled last year in Greendale on account of the pandemic. Patch previously reported that the Village Board was debating canceling Greendale's 2020 trick or treat time on account of the pandemic. The festivities ultimately did take place, but Greendale's Halloween parade was canceled.

A year has passed, and although the pandemic is not over, trick or treating and the Halloween parade are set to make a return in Greendale, according to the Village's website.

The Halloween Parade will take place just before trick or treat at 3:30 p.m. Residents can line up for the parade at Jaycee Park.
