Halloween 2024: Trick-Or-Treat Hours, Compost Your Pumpkin In Glenview

GLENVIEW, IL — If you've got little ones ready to trick-or-treat next week, or you're planning to hand out candy to all the ghouls, goblins, and ghosts at your home, Glenview has released Halloween hours. Rain or shine, trick-or-treaters can head out between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

With a goal of keeping everyone safe, the Village of Glenview also released the following tips:

• Map out a trick-or-treat route for your children to follow.
• Make sure kids cross only at corners — and look in all directions first. Remind them to use sidewalks or walk facing traffic so approaching cars can be seen.
• Caution them against crossing the street between parked cars, where drivers can't see them.
• Warn children not to eat any goodies until you've had a chance to inspect them. When in doubt, throw it out.
• Residents can make known whether they do or don't welcome trick-or-treaters by posting a sign in their window — No Trick-or-Treaters, Please or Trick-or-Treaters Welcome!

When Halloween is over, many people throw out their pumpkins, but the Village is hoping residents compost them instead. Find out more here.
