Gwinnett Halloween Trick-Or-Treating Hours For 2019

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — Halloween falls on a Thursday this year, and with just a few days to go, people are searching for the perfect costume and candy. In Gwinnett County, trick-or-treaters will be out and about on Halloween night.

The county doesn't have set hours for trick-or-treating. However, the typical trick-or-treat time is from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., so motorists should be extra vigilant at those times.

Homeowners and residents who don't wish to have trick-or-treaters come to their door should turn off their porch lights as it gets darker Thursday night.

For a safe trick-or-treating night, parents should remember to:

• Check all treats to ensure they are sealed and do not have any foreign objects.
• Carry a flashlight and wear reflective clothing.
• Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Make sure that shoes fit well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame.
• Light up the house at night. If a sword, cane or stick is a part of your child's costume, make sure it is not sharp or long.
• If you have a security camera, make sure it's pointed at the front door.
• Always check through your peephole before opening the door.
• Bring a cell phone in case of an emergency.
• Young children, excited about the night of trick-or-treating, should be supervised by a responsible adult.
• Do not walk on the street — stay on sidewalks and cross streets when safe at intersections and crosswalks.
