Frankfort’s official trick-or-treat hours will be 5-9 p.m. on Halloween night, Monday, October 31.
The Board of Public Works and Safety approved trick-or-treat times at their September 26 meeting. Residents who are planning to share candy should turn on their porch lights during trick-or-treat hours.
Frankfort Police are offering safety tips for trick-or-treaters. According to Police Chief Scott Shoemaker, trick-or-treaters of all ages are encouraged to take the following precautions to help ensure a safe evening by choosing a well-lit path of travel and only visiting homes of those you know and that have porch lights on.
“We encourage all trick-or-treaters to wear reflective clothing. Remember to stop at the edge of streets before crossing and never run into the road.” Chief Shoemaker said. Motorists are asked to be especially careful on Halloween night by decreasing speed and increasing awareness of trick-or-treating children and families.
Frankfort Main Street and many of the downtown businesses will be trick-or-treating on the square from 530-7 p.m. Stop by if you dare for the Kid’s Costume Contest at Veterans Park, judging begins at 6 p.m.
In addition to trick-or-treating within their neighborhoods and downtown Frankfort, Frankfort’s ghosts, witches, superheroes, and goblins can visit the Frankfort Unified Neighborhood Truck or Treat event at Veterans Park on Saturday, October 29, from 6-9 p.m.
