Trick-Or-Treating In Batavia: 2025 Hours Revealed

BATAVIA, IL — Fall weather has descended upon Batavia, and that means Halloween is right around the corner.

The holiday falls on a Friday this year, and the City of Batavia set its recommended trick-or-treating hours for 3-7 p.m. Oct. 31. The city's hours are only a recommendation, police said, and families are encouraged to adjust based on what works for them.

Families will have another opportunity to trick-or-treat and celebrate the fall at the annual BatFest, hosted Oct. 25 by Batavia MainStreet. Community-favorite events, including a parade, downtown trick-or-treating and a pet costume contest, are planned.

Batavia police shared the following tips to help locals enjoy a "safe and thrilling" Halloween:

• Gather Your Ghouls: Stick together in small groups for a frightfully good time.
• Leave Wheels at Home: Save the bikes and skateboards for another day — your feet are the best way to roam!
• Adult Supervision: Little ghosts should have grown-up goblins by their side.
• Vision is Key: Choose costumes that let you see clearly—no tripping over tombstones.
• Reflective Magic: Sprinkle on some stick-on reflective materials to shine bright.
• Flashlight Fun: Light the way with a flashlight if you’re out after dark.
• Candy Safety Spell: Only accept wrapped or packaged goodies—no tricks, just treats!
• Candy Check: Parents, give that candy a good inspection before it disappears into tiny tummies.
• Crosswalk Charms: Always cross at crosswalks — safety first, spooky fun second!
