2024 Trick-or-Treat Times for the Acadiana Area

Halloween 2024 is here and we know your little ones are looking forward to a night of walking around when it's dark in and around the Lafayette, Louisiana area going from door to door begging for candy from strangers.

(Sounds weird when you word it like that, huh?!)

There have been a lot of great events and fun things to do in Acadiana leading up to the big day, from haunted houses to pumpkin patches, fall festivals, and everything in between.

But now all the Halloween celebrations culminate in a fun night when all good little ghouls and goblins hit the streets begging for candy and treats.

Of course, we're talking about trick-or-treating in Acadiana.

Below is the information we've been able to gather so far regarding trick-or-treating. As you can see, several towns and municipalities have altered plans due to the impending rain.

If you have updated info about a specific town's trick-or-treat times or ones that we're missing, feel free to share that info by emailing jude@973thedawg.com and we will update the list as soon as possible.

Here are some trick-or-tricking tips:

• Be sure to be seen – Carry flashlights or glow sticks and add reflective tape or reflectors to dark-colored costumes
• Consider face paint and decorative hats as alternatives to masks that can limit or block eyesight
• Wear flame-retardant costumes and only carry costume props constructed of cardboard to avoid injury
• Travel in groups under the supervision of parents or guardians
• Use sidewalks where available, stay to the side of the road and watch for cars
• Stay in familiar neighborhoods and only visit familiar homes with porch lights on
• Adults should inspect all treats prior to the children enjoying them
• Give and accept wrapped or packaged candy only
• Drive cautiously in neighborhoods and areas where children may be trick-or-treating
• For adults attending parties, please plan ahead and practice responsible drinking. Do not drink and drive.
