While many local cities and townships offer trick or treat times in Michigan, the best bet for trick or treat is to check-in with your local neighborhood and see what your neighbors are planning. The best places for this information depends on how your neighborhood usually communicates – a Facebook Group, an Email Group, Next Door, etc. You can also talk to your neighbors to see what your neighborhood typically does.

Remember if you are not participating in trick or treat, turn off your outside garage and porch lights. And if you are taking your kids trick or treating, skip houses with their lights off.

What Time is Trick or Treating 2025 Michigan – Ann Arbor

All communities around Ann Arbor have Halloween trick or treating on October 31 no matter which day of the week it is – including on Sunday as it was in 2021. Personally I’m good with anything from dusk until about 8:30/9p. However, most of the local municipalities have official trick or treat hours.

I live in Pittsfield Township. We don’t typically get trick or treaters until close to 6:30 – and will leave my light on until close to 9p. Personally, I prefer it to be dark, but about 15 years ago a week was added to daylight savings time moving the time change to the first weekend in November from the last weekend in October. So it isn’t quite as dark when trick or treat starts.
