Aurora Trick-Or-Treat Times

AURORA, IL — Halloween 2017 is right around the corner. Don't fret! There's still time to get your costumes together. We've got your area's trick-or-treating times right here. Stock up on that candy, play a scary movie and turn on those porch lights. Check out this guide to plan your own safety map.

Aurora's trick-or-treating times are 4 'til 7:30 Tuesday, Oct. 31.

The Aurora Police Department has put out a safety checklist:

• Make sure costumes, wigs and accessories are flame resistant.
• Be sure to carry a flashlight; and costumes should be bright or reflective so children can see and be seen. Putting reflective tape on costumes is another option.
• Masks, costumes and shoes should be well-fitting to avoid blocked vision, trips and falls.
• Children should stay on sidewalks, look both ways before crossing streets and use established crosswalks wherever possible.
• Props like swords, knives and other objects should be made of soft or flexible material.
• Only visit homes with a front porch light on; and kids should only enter homes if they’re with a trusted adult. Otherwise, Trick-or-Treaters should stay outside.
• Bring a cell phone while trick-or-treating in case of an emergency.
• Only factory-wrapped treats should be eaten; homemade treats should be avoided unless the cook is well-known to the trick-or-treater or their family.
