Mequon Trick or Treat 2026 Schedule: Date and Hours
Mequon families can celebrate Halloween on Halloween night in 2026! The city’s official trick-or-treat hours are set for Saturday, October 31, from 4 to 7 p.m.
Mequon Trick-or-Treat Hours
Date: Saturday, October 31, 2026
Time: 4–7 p.m.
Location: Participating neighborhoods throughout Mequon
The 2026 schedule is listed on the City of Mequon community calendar. Residents who plan to hand out candy should turn on their porch lights during the official hours.
Because trick-or-treating begins before sunset and continues after dark, families may want to bring flashlights or glow sticks and add reflective material to costumes. Drivers should use extra caution throughout Mequon neighborhoods during the event.
Tips for a Safe Mequon Halloween
Before heading out, families can make the evening safer and more comfortable with a few simple preparations:
Carry a flashlight or glow stick as daylight fades.
Add reflective tape or lights to dark costumes.
Make sure masks do not block a child’s vision.
Cross streets at intersections and stay together as a group.
Visit homes with their porch lights turned on.
Check candy before children begin eating it.
Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes.
With city-wide trick-or-treating on Halloween night and Habitat Haunting the weekend before, Mequon families have two opportunities to dress up and enjoy some seasonal fun in 2026.
Habitat Haunting at Mequon Nature Preserve
Families can start the Halloween fun one week earlier at Habitat Haunting at Mequon Nature Preserve.
Date: Saturday, October 24, 2026
Time: 11 a.m.–1 p.m.
Location: Mequon Nature Preserve, 8200 W. County Line Road, Mequon
Children are invited to wear their costumes and trick-or-treat along the trail behind the preserve’s Education Center. Mequon Nature Preserve staff members and volunteers will be stationed along the trail with candy.
The family-friendly event is free. The trail is graveled, and leashed dogs are welcome to join the fun.
A new tax being considered in Mequon could eventually create a significant new pool of money for festivals, recreation, tourism marketing and community improvements.
