Cherokee County Halloween Trick-Or-Treating Hours For 2019

Cherokee County kids will soon hit the sidewalks in search of candy on Halloween night. Here's trick or treating hours, tips from officials.

CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA — Halloween falls on a Thursday this year, and with just two weeks to go, people are searching for the perfect costume and candy. In Cherokee County, trick-or-treaters will be out and about on Halloween night. The county doesn't have set hours; however, the typical trick-or-treat time is from 5:30-9:30 p.m., so drivers should be extra vigilant then.

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.
