October 13, 2023
Trick-or-Treating in the Village will be on Tuesday, October 31, 2023. While there are no prescribed hours, the Downers Grove Police Department recommends trick-or-treating during daylight hours.
Remember, curfew prohibits anyone under 17 years of age to be on the street after 11:00 p.m. on weeknights.
Safety TIPS
- Kids should trick-or-treat with parents or in groups-never alone.
- Wear light colored or reflective clothing. Masks should not obstruct vision.
- Carry a flashlight after dark.
- Stay on sidewalks and never walk in the street.
- Cross streets carefully and always at corners-no jaywalking.
- Limit trick-or-treating to your immediate neighborhood.
- Trick-or-treat only at homes where outside lights are on.
- Only accept treats that are wrapped and securely sealed.
- Parents, check your child's treats before eating.
- Vandalism is a crime. Halloween is not an excuse to damage or destroy someone else's property.
