Trick or Treat!

on Halloween
The City of Carmel has announced that the official hours of trick-or-treating in the City will be Monday, October 31 from 5 to 8 p.m. Homes welcoming trick-or-treaters should turn on their porch lights. If you do not wish to receive trick-or-treaters or have run out of candy, please turn off your porch lights. While there are many neighborhoods and other organizations that hold their own Halloween events and celebrations, we encourage those who want to trick-or-treat door-to-door, to use the City's official hours to do so.
