What time is trick-or-treating 2018 in Oklahoma City OK?

This year, Halloween will fall on a Wednesday, which is one of the least convenient days for parents and kids to go trick-or-treating.  So what time is trick-or-treating 2018 in Oklahoma City OK? While the city itself does not set a time (though specific neighborhoods may have recommendations), times nationally tend to range between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Halloween itself (Oct. .31) with some special events beginning earlier and going later. With sunset on Halloween 2018 falling at 6:36 p.m. we feel like the prime trick-or-treating time would fall between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Families with smaller children may want to head out earlier, while older students may want to stay out later when it’s truly dark.

NOTE: This blog has been updated with new information. Trick-or-treating in OKC will be celebrated on the day of Halloween and not moved to any other day.

Non-scary Halloween Events 2018 in OKC

If you have little children who shouldn’t stay up super late, or just don’t enjoy being scared yourself, there are some ways to celebrate the season outside of regular trick or treating. The Haunt the Zoo event at the Oklahoma City Zoo and the Halloween Train at the Oklahoma Railway Museum are two options on Oct. 27 and 28. Other events include Spooksville (Oct. 27) in Yukon and the Spikes Spooktacular Fall Festival (Oct. 25) at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. There should also be a “Meet and Treat” event city-wide event perfect for kids!

Driving safety tips on Halloween

Halloween can be a distracting time for drivers as well as an adventure for kids. When you go out be sure to have your headlights on (even if it’s not completely dark) because that can help children notice you! It is also good to drive at the speed limit or lower so you have more time to react if a child runs into the road!
