It’s almost Hall-o-Weekend in Chicago! And if you’re a parent, you’re likely getting the kiddos ready for some trick-or-treating fun.
But when does trick-or-treating begin and where are events happening across the city? Here are your questions answered.
What time does trick-or-treating start in Chicago?
Unlike some of the surrounding suburbs, the city of Chicago does not have designated trick-or-treating hours.
Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, however, meaning localized trick or treating events will be happening throughout the day.
