Halloween Trick-or-Treating in the City of Marquette is scheduled for Thursday, October 31, 2024. The recommended hours to be observed for Trick-or-Treating are from 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Motorists, please anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic during this time; be extra cautious when entering and exiting driveways. We recommend turning on headlights earlier in the day and driving slowly through neighborhoods.

For the children's safety, parents are encouraged to accompany them while trick-or treating and share the following tips:

• Never approach someone in a car who is offering candy

• Trick-or-treat only at houses with porch lights on and never enter a stranger’s home

• Inspect all treats before allowing children to eat them

• Consider placing reflective tape on costumes to be more visible to others

• Walk, don’t run from house-to-house

• Be sure children can see through mask eye-openings, and check for trip hazards

• Always stay on sidewalks and look both ways before crossing streets
