City of Carmel Trick-or-Treat hours
CARMEL, Ind., Oct. 15, 2025 - The City of Carmel's official hours of trick-or-treating will be Friday, Oct. 31 from 5 to 8 p.m. Homes welcoming trick-or-treaters should turn on their porch lights. If you do not wish to participate, or run out of treats, 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.
The City would also like to remind its residents of a few guidelines and proper safety procedures to follow for a safer celebration. While preparing for Halloween festivities, there are several important safety tips to keep in mind.
- Motorists should drive with extra caution and keep an eye out for “little goblins” roaming the neighborhood.
- Adults should always accompany their children and use a flashlight at night, staying within their own neighborhood and known homes. The use of glow sticks or reflective tape on costumes can also help with visibility.
- Watch for traffic before crossing any street.
- Avoid costumes that are long, which could cause tripping or costumes that have hard plastic or wood props like swords that could be a hazard.
- Face paint is often a safer alternative to masks that may obstruct vision.
- It is also important to inspect candy before allowing children to have it; dispose of any candy that is unwrapped.
