Halloween trick-or-treating hours are set for Columbus and Phenix City. The hours differ a little, but the safety suggestions are the same. The Phenix City Police Department recommends going door to door for treats between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. EST.
Recommended trick-or-treating hours in Columbus is 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. according to Mayor Skip Henderson’s office. They urge drivers to slow down and use caution, and kids carry a flashlight or glow stick.
Other safety tips include planning your route ahead of time and don’t go to houses you don’t know. Also make sure your costume can be seen at night. Use reflective tape if necessary. Always check your candy before you eat it and discard any opened or unwrapped pieces.
