Halloween in Avondale Estates

Trick-or-Treating


On October 31, Halloween night, trick-or-treating hours are from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Every year, and the City closes some of its streets and issues a detailed traffic plan so children can safely stroll through the neighborhood. Read Halloween Safety Tips (PDF) from Avondale Estates Police Chief Thomas.

To ensure safety off all Halloween trick-or-treaters, Avondale Estates will be implementing its usual traffic plan. The plan will go into effect at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 31 with routes reopening at 8:30 p.m. when trick-or-treating concludes.
