ANDOVER, MA — Official trick-or-treating hours in Andover are set for Friday, October 31, 2025, from 5:00–7:00 PM. Whether or not you’re taking part in the festivities, please remember to use extra caution on the roads during these hours.

To help ensure a safe and fun holiday, please keep these tips in mind:

• Carry a flashlight or glow sticks and add reflective tape to costumes or bags to make children more visible after dark.
• Walk on sidewalks whenever possible; if none are available, walk facing traffic and stay as far to the side as you can.
• Cross streets at corners and crosswalks, and never dart out between parked cars.
• Travel in groups and have younger children accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.
• Choose costumes and masks that don’t obstruct vision and are easy to move around in.
• Remind children to never enter a stranger’s home or car while trick-or-treating.
• Motorists should drive slowly and watch carefully for children crossing the street.
