FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — Trick-or-treat!

The Fort Wayne Police Department announced in a Facebook post Thursday that trick-or-treating in the city would be held on Halloween, Oct. 31 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Halloween falls on a Monday this year.

Here are some Halloween safety tips from Indiana State Police:

• Know and abide by the appropriate dates and times your local community has established for trick-or-treating.
• Make sure that your child has a flashlight, glow stick or reflective material on their costume, so he/she can be seen clearly during the low light hours.
• Children should always be accompanied by an adult when trick-or-treating, or at a minimum- use the buddy system, and have a plan if groups get separated (i.e. charged cellphone or ask an adult for help).
• Only go trick-or-treating at houses where the front porch light is on.
• Children should NEVER enter the house of a stranger.
• All treats should be inspected by an adult before being consumed. 
• And for all motorists- we ask that you slow down and drive with caution in our area neighborhoods. Pay close attention for children that are not paying attention.
