City of Ottawa announces trick-or-treating hours

Kids dressed in Halloween theme costume enter for the Illinois Valley Pistol Shrimp Halloween in July on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 at Schweickert Stadium in Peru. The event featured a Trick or Treat Scavenger Hunt presented by Peru Federal Savings Bank, Pregame Performance from the Hocus Pocus Hags and a kids costume parade.

The city of Ottawa recently announced its Halloween trick-or-treating hours will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31.

The city discussed adjusting trick-or-treating hours due to Daylight Saving Time. The traditional trick-or-treating hours were selected to prevent participants from being caught off guard. Families are encouraged to use glow sticks, flashlights, or bright accessories to stay visible after dark.
