TRICK OR TREAT 2023- October 31

Hampden Township does not sponsor any Halloween or Trick or Treat related activities. The Township merely establishes a uniform date and time for residents who wish to participate. Trick or Treat is scheduled for Tuesday, October 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. Residents, with children, may decide if they wish to participate in door-to-door Trick or Treat activities and individual property owners may choose whether or not they wish to distribute treats from their residence.

Parents who choose to have their child(ren) participate in Trick or Treat are urged to have them wear any costume masks so they are large enough to see through easily, have a flashlight and wear bright reflective colors. Parents should also inspect treats before allowing their children to eat them.

The cost is $15 per person. A no breakfast fee of $7 is available for children 2 years of age and younger. Register online or call 761-4951.
