To trick or treat or not to trick or treat is the orange-hot question this season. Some communities – including Shorewood, Whitefish Bay and Bay View – have canceled due to the pandemic whereas many other southeastern locations are rolling with the tradition. Most participating neighborhoods are following CDC health department guidelines – and make sure you are as well if you're going out; health officials note in-person trick-or-treating this year is a higher risk activity, so be safe and be smart.

Please note the City of Milwaukee will not support trick-or-treating this year.
