Last year was a unique year for just about everything – and trick-or-treating was no exception. Some communities canceled the annual event, while others held it, but asked people to take precautions. 

If nothing else, it did lead to some innovation in treat giving. Some people created tubes that they sent the candy down to avoid contact, while others simply set the candy out and avoided interaction together. 

We’re glad to say, that while the pandemic may still be going on, it would appear trick-or-treating is going back to a more normal state for 2021. Most, if not all communities will be holding the event, and we expect the candy acquisition process to feel more normal. Not that everyone will give up on their 2020 inventions. 

If you are planning on heading out trick-or-treating with the kids this year, do continue to take traditional precautions like checking candy and being careful crossing the street – in addition to COVID-19 precautions with anyone that isn’t feeling well, keeping a smart distance, and more. 

Check out the dates and times for communities in and around our hometown of Milwaukee for 2021.
