- Participating houses turn on their porch light or decorate.
- There is no trick-or-treat start time and no trick-or-treat cut time.
- Kids usually start around dusk or when they get home from school and some go until curfew. Find curfew times for your city here.
- Where else can kids trick-or-treat around the Twin Cities? Try checking our big list of Twin Cities Trunk-or-Treat events and places to trick-or-treat at shopping malls and shopping centers.
In 2021, Halloween falls on a Sunday, so if you want to get an early start, just look for houses with lights on.
