The Village of Gurnee encourages the community to have fun this Halloween and to celebrate safely. Should your family choose to trick-or-treat or pass out candy this year, please keep in mind the following: 

• Stay on sidewalks and streets. Do not take shortcuts through alleyways or across lawns.
• Watch for traffic, obey all traffic signs, look before crossing the street and never cross between parked cars or in the middle of the block.
• Children should always go Trick-or-Treating with a trusted adult.
• Only go to familiar houses and never go into people's homes. If someone asks you or your child to enter their home, politely decline.
• Remain outdoors when distributing treats and provide individually packaged treat bags for children to collect.
• Check your child's treats before they eat them.
