Thanks if you know,, I've been looking for 20 minutes everywhere and can't find it...

I called the Orlando City Hall, and unbelievably, they don't set times for trick-or-treating. The woman on the phone said it's up to each individual neighborhood when they do it, and unless you have an HOA to call, it sounds like you have to check with neighbors or others in the area. Kind of a weird answer, I know!

I've never heard of tirck or treat times.. I grew up in that side of town and we went out when ever we wanted to. If you're participating in giving out candy you had your porch light on and if you didnt have candy you turned your porch light off. I usually went out right at sunset and came in around 9:30 and later as i got older. You see a few yonger kids/todlers out right before sunset.

I have searched all over the place. Because we just came here from Ohio, I am not sure what the trick or treat hours are. I am looking for the hours for Winter Park. I want to take my kids from house to house and have a nice neighborhood in mind, where my friend lives and we are going with her, and my address is winter park, but I just can not find out the hours from anyone. I tried to call the police station (someone from the main winter park line game me that number), along with probably 4 other places and no one knows what to tell me. I am going to go out on a limb here LOL and say it is the 31st, but what times? Any information would be appreciated. I did see the information about the festival, which I will be doing that also, but I want to know about later that evening wen it is actual trick or treating time. Thanks in advance.

Oh. I posted a tread like this, but I thought I was in Seminal county, so I never thought to look here. So, you are saying that we go and if the lights on, just go to the house? Weird lol. We always had a set time for trick or treating at home. What would be the best time? 7? We are going to go to winter park, in a nice neighborhood. Advice would be appreciated lol. I a sooo lost.

There are no trick or treat hours. I've never heard of such a thing. I would say from sunset to around 9 are the prime hours. And yes its on the 31st, thats halloween. Hope this helps.

Yes it is on the 31st this year....the day rarely changes. As GLS2010 stated it's usually for 6-9pm...at least those are the hours I'll be away from my house lol.

You'll know when to stop going to the houses because more lights will start going off, and people will have run out of candy.

Man, where I grew up in New York, especially on a weekend- you'd trick or treat from 9AM until 9PM! Nobody had lights on or off, you just guessed your best- and if someone had nothing... you'd egg their house ! =)

Ya, I got a call from a city official and they said the same thing. She said she normally takes her kiddos out at 6 or 6:30 and goes from there. lol It must be just in my old area in Ohio lol. I am glad, I don't think they gave the kids enough time where we use to live. Here we can trick or treat all night if we want lol and if people are willing. And there is a lot of other things to do that day, which we are going to do. I love this time of year.
