2023 Trick-or-Treat Times in Milwaukee County
Last year, Halloween fell on a Monday, and only South Milwaukee was brave enough to hold their trick-or-treating actually on the holiday. This year Halloween falls on a Tuesday and every community has shifted their dates to the preceding weekend.
Even so, there is a healthy split between Saturday the 28th and Sunday the 29th. Some communities hold theirs earlier in the day and some later. If you plan it right, you may be able to trick-or-treat through 4 different communities in the last weekend of October.

Top Halloween Costumes of 2023?
Barbie will undoubtedly be a popular costume this year and along with it goes Ken and even Allan. Don’t forget all the variations on the Barbie character you have to choose from including Weird Barbie and Mojo Dojo Ken. If you want to capitalize off the Barbenhiemer trend that took the summer movie season by storm, you could consider going as Oppenhiemer or even one of the movie’s other cast of historical figures including Albert Einstein.
Other ways to capitalize on the pop culture zeitgeist of 2023 include options like the quirky Wednesday Adams, any of the classic Mario characters from the recent Mario movie, or even Ariel from Little Mermaid.
For safety, especially if you plan on going to one of the communities that do trick-or-treating a little later, you will want to stick to bright Halloween costumes. As always, remember to check your candy thoroughly before enjoying it!
