Collingswood 2019 Halloween Trick-or-Treating Hours

COLLINGSWOOD, NJ — Collingswood has announced its hours for this month's upcoming trick-or-treat hours on Halloween. Trick-or-treat will take place on Thursday, Oct. 31, 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

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

• 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 cellphone 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.
