Trick-or-Treating in Galesburg

October 31, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

The City of Galesburg will have trick-or-treating during the same day and time that it’s normally held, although they are encouraging residents to review and follow guidance from the Illinois Department of Public Health.

For example, they suggest instead of handing kids candy, you place treats on a table, on their front sidewalk or porch, and maintain six feet of distance.
They also suggest that only household members trick or treat together.

The guidelines say that trunk or treat events are considered a higher-risk activity and are discouraged, although they say similar types of events could be held in a large parking lot with social distance being maintained.

Halloween haunted houses are currently not allowed under Phase 4 guidelines, but open-air haunted forests or haunted walks are allowed.

Passing out candy is of course an individual choice, but if you are participating, please indicate that by turning a porch or outside light on.

Galesburg’s trick or treating hours will be 5 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31.

Full IDPH guidelines can be found <a href=”https://www.ci.galesburg.il.us/assets/1/22/20200930_IDPH_HalloweenGuidance_Fina.pdf”>here</a>.
