Dale City 2019 Trick-Or-Treating Hours, Weather Forecast

DALE CITY, VA —Halloween is on its way, and with just hours to go until trick-or-treaters hit the Dale City streets, kids are readying their costumes and practicing their best jokes.

In Dale City, trick-or-treaters will be out and about on Halloween night. The county doesn't have set hours, according to Prince William County's website; however, the typical trick-or-treat time is from 5:30-9:30 p.m., so drivers should be extra vigilant then.

• 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.
