AUSTIN, TEXAS – OCTOBER 31: A child dressed as Mario fixes their mustache after receiving candy while Trick-or-Treating in the Allandale neighborhood on October 31, 2023 in Austin, Texas. Community members and families came out to celebrate Halloween <\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
In New York City, there’s no citywide youth curfew and no official trick-or-treat hours, and the city is closing 160 streets and plazas to cars for its Trick-or-Streets program.<\/p>\n
Just north of the city, Yonkers has a citywide Halloween night curfew for kids 16 and under. Kids 11 and younger have to be home by 10 p.m., kids 12 and 13 by 10:30 p.m., and teens 14 to 16 by 11 p.m. Kids with a parent or guardian are exempt, and violators will be taken to the nearest police precinct while their parents are notified.<\/p>\n

Further up the Hudson, Middletown in Orange County has a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew for minors under 18, starting tonight and running through Nov. 1, according to a roundup by radio station WPDH.<\/p>\n
New Jersey is where the list gets long.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wall Township’s code sets a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew for juveniles from Oct. 29 through Nov. 1. <\/p>\n
What we don’t know:<\/p>\n
Bayville’s village calendar hasn’t posted a 2026 notice yet, though the curfew is part of its village law. Hasbrouck Heights police also didn’t say what age counts as a “juvenile” for their curfew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Many other towns have yet to say whether they’ll add curfews this year.<\/p>\n
What’s next:<\/p>\n
This list may grow. Towns are still announcing curfews ahead of Mischief Night on Friday.<\/p>\n
And don’t forget, clocks fall back an hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, as daylight saving time ends.<\/p>\n
