York County Trick-or-Treat Hours Safety

Oct. 31 from 6 pm to 8 pm

Stay Safe and Healthy this Halloween

In York County, trick-or-treating is recommended for children ages 12 and under from 6 to 8 p.m. on October 31 – Halloween! York County Fire Chief Allen Baldwin and York-Poquoson Sheriff Ron
Montgomery offer the following trick-or-treat safety tips:

• Wear brightly colored, flame-resistant costumes and add reflective tape or glow
  sticks to make children more visible to drivers.
• Choose non-toxic face paint or makeup instead of masks, which can obstruct
  vision.
• Children should trick-or-treat with an adult or among a group of friends.
• Remind children to be careful, watch for traffic, and never to enter a stranger’s
  home or car.
• Residents are asked to turn on porch lights to identify homes that wish to receive
  trick-or-treaters. Children should avoid houses where porch lights are off.
• Check children’s candy for tampering, opened packages, and potential choking
  hazards. Remove these items before letting children eat their treats. Take care to
  avoid any food allergies.
• Motorists should watch for children walking on roadways, medians, and curbs,
  and be sure to enter/exit driveways carefully.
