Trick-or-treat hours are 3:30 to 8 p.m.
on Sunday, Oct. 31, in Oswego
 The Village of Oswego would like to remind residents that official trick-or-treating hours in the Village are from 3:30 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 31, 2021, and encourage parents to make sure that their children are only trick-or-treating during those hours.
Parents can also take a few simple steps to ensure children?s safety this Halloween:
- Make sure that any masks do not block children?s vision both in front and to each side.
- If you are trick-or-treating after dark, use reflective tape on costumes and carry a flashlight.
- Young children should be accompanied by a responsible adult while trick-or-treating.
- Know the routes that older, unaccompanied children are planning to take and set a time for them to be home. Children should go out in groups rather than by themselves.
- Review treats collected by your children. Tampering with Halloween treats is exceptionally rare, but if any treats show signs of possible tampering, call the Oswego Police Department.
- Do not visit homes that are not participating in trick-or-treating. Residents should turn their porch light on if they are participating and off if they are not, and should not participate in trick-or-treating if anyone in the home is ill.
In addition, residents are reminded to take additional precautions relative to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Visit the Centers for Disease Control?s Holiday Celebrations page for more information.
