If you’re wondering when to go trick-or-treating in 2025, the most common guidance suggests aiming for a window around early evening, typically from about 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., with a peak around 7:00 p.m. given Halloween falls on a Friday that year. Local schedules can vary, so it’s best to check your neighborhood or town’s guidelines, curfew rules, and any published “trick-or- treat” hours in your area. Key points to consider:

• For young children: start closer to dusk, often around 5:30–6:00 p.m., to keep it safe and comfortable before older kids take over the sidewalks.
• For older kids and teens: many families extend into the 7:00–8:00 p.m. range; some communities summarize an official window (if provided) on local outlets or neighborhood pages.
• Curfews and local rules: some towns limit the hours or require lighting, so verify any local regulations to avoid surprises.
• Weather and daylight: since Halloween is late October, evening lighting is important; plan costumes with reflective elements and carry lights if it gets dark early.

If you’d like, share your city or neighborhood and I can tailor the timing to your local guidelines and typical curfew rules.
