Trick-or-Treating Hours

The trick-or-treating hours in Shorewood will be 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, October 31st.

Avoid oversized costumes

As you and your little ones start picking out Halloween costumes, consider staying away from long, drapey fabrics that could lead to trips and falls.

Stay on well-lit streets and use a sidewalk

Whether your older children are trick-or-treating alone or you will be accompanying little ones 12 and below, confirm the route being taken and warn against distracted walking, especially as it gets darker. If you are in neighborhoods with no sidewalks, walk at the far edge of the roadway facing traffic.

Protect our Rivers and Streams this Fall

Never blow or dump leaves into natural areas and common spaces—Dumping leaves in stormwater ponds, streams, and natural areas negatively impacts water quality and wildlife.

Leaves are nutrient-rich and feed algae that form an unattractive green layer on our neighborhood ponds.
