There is no citywide curfew or start time to plan around. Ask your HOA or neighborhood association whether it has set hours, a route or a trunk-or-treat. Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, so Halloween night is the last evening on the later sunset.

Treat safety
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Halloween food safety tips for parents:
- Give children a light meal or snack before they go out, and ask them to wait until they get home to eat anything.
- Do not accept or eat anything that is not commercially wrapped.
- Check wrapped treats for signs of tampering, such as an odd look or color, tiny pinholes or torn wrappers, and throw away anything suspicious.
