Some towns and cities in the United States have set age limits for trick-or-treating, but there is no nationwide age limit. Here are some examples of places with age limits:
- Chesapeake, Virginia: Trick-or-treating is limited to kids 14 and under.
- Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Norfolk, Newport News, Poquoson, Williamsburg, York County, and Hampton, Virginia: These cities and towns prohibit trick-or-treating after age 12.
- Jacksonville, Illinois, and Rayne, Louisiana: These towns bar kids who are 13 or older from trick-or-treating.
- Charleston, South Carolina: Trick-or-treating is restricted for teens over 16, who also arent allowed to wear a mask in public places, per state law.
Its worth noting that even in places without age limits, some people may feel that there is an age at which trick-or-treating is no longer appropriate. However, opinions on this vary widely, and some people believe that youre "never" too old to trick-or-treat.
