Wilmington Halloween 2021: When Is Trick-Or-Treating?

WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington does not set official or recommended trick-or-treating hours. Town officials are leaving participation up to residents.

Officials usually recommend trick-or-treating in the first couple of hours after sunset, which is at 5:39 p.m. on Halloween this year.

Anyone who doesn't want to participate should leave their outside lights off. Trick-or-treaters should only approach homes with outside lights on.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky recently said outdoor trick-or-treating should be safe with respect to the coronavirus.

Wilmington's annual Horribles Parade returns this year on Oct. 24.
