Trick-or-treating in the Village of New Lenox for Halloween 2025 will take place from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Residents are encouraged to prioritize safety during these hours.
Parents and children are advised to remain in well-lit areas and stick to familiar neighborhoods. The guidance recommends crossing streets at corners using crosswalks, rather than running between parked cars. Carrying a flashlight or glow sticks and wearing reflective clothing is suggested to increase visibility. It is also recommended that all treats be checked before consumption.
Drivers in residential areas are urged to slow down and stay alert for children who may be crossing streets or walking on roadways. Distractions should be minimized, including putting away mobile phones while driving.
The community is reminded to report any suspicious activity immediately to the New Lenox Police Department (NLPD), which will have extra patrols and officers present during trick-or-treating hours. In case of emergency, residents should call 911.
