The City of Kenosha continues its Halloween tradition of trick or treat from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31.

Households interested in giving away treats should indicate their interest by turning on a light on their porch or in the front yard.

Drivers are reminded to slow down and take extra caution during the hours of trick-or-treat, to avoid accidents.

Sunset on Oct. 31 is 5:45 p.m.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers the following safety tips for trick or treat:

  • Eat only factory-wrapped treats. 

  • Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.

  • Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips and falls.

  • Look both ways before crossing the street. Use crosswalks wherever possible.

  • Swords, knives, and other costume accessories should be short, soft and flexible.

  • Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them.

  • Consider adding reflective tape to costumes to assist in visibility after dark.
