Orland Park, IL (October 29, 2025)- With Halloween falling on a Friday this year, the Village of Orland Park has announced official trick-or-treat hours from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. on October 31.
According to Village Ordinance 8-5-3-3, if October 31 falls on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, trick-or-treating hours are from 2 to 7:00 p.m. If October 31 falls on a Friday or Saturday, trick-or-treating hours are from 2 to 8:00 p.m.
The Orland Park Police Department reminds residents to keep safety in mind this Halloween and offers the following tips:
- Always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds.
- If your older children are trick-or-treating alone, plan and review the acceptable route. Agree on a specific time when they should return home and get flashlights with batteries for everyone.
- Talk with kids about the risk of distracted walking. This includes text messaging, talking on or looking at the mobile phone and listening to music.
- Make sure kids know not to cross the street between parked cars or out of driveways or alleys.
- Stay on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. If no sidewalk is available, walk at the far edge of the roadway facing traffic. Only go to homes with a porch light on and, ideally, a well-lit pathway.
- Have a great time and remember to respect your neighbors and community.
“Our officers will be out ensuring everyone has a safe night. Please drive carefully and watch for little ghosts and goblins crossing the street,” said Orland Park Police Chief Eric Rossi. "We’re proud to serve a community that celebrates together. Happy Halloween from all of us at the department!"
