2026 Middleton Trick or Treat Hours

The City has announced the much-anticipated times for the annual Halloween Trick or Treat: 5 – 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026.

The Middleton Police Department encourages safety and supervision during the annual Trick or Treat season. It is especially important for parents to adhere to a few safety rules for their children when they are trick-or-treating:

Know your kid’s route

Take a flashlight

Be sure costumes, shoes, and treat bags are safe

Remind kids not to enter strangers’ homes or cars

Set rules about not eating treats until kids get home & be sure to inspect all treats before allowing kids to eat them

Candy that has been opened should be thrown away & any homemade treats or fruit should be inspected closely

Remember drivers have a hard time seeing people, especially at dusk

Never cross the street between parked cars

Watch open flames from jack-o-lanterns as they can catch costumes and long wigs on fire

Make sure that fake knives, swords & guns are made from cardboard or other flexible materials to avoid accidental injury or worse, have them mistaken for the real thing!

It is also important to ensure that your home is safe and accessible to trick-or-treaters. As adults, there are some very simple things we can do to make the evening safe for everyone:

Turn on your porch light

Remove objects from your yard that might present a hazard

Move lit jack-o-lanterns off the porch where kids get bunched up if they are trick-or-treating in groups.

Drive extra carefully all evening. You never know what creature may suddenly cross your path!

Report any suspicious or criminal activity to the police
