Map Your Route: Scout your neighborhoods beforehand. Pro tip: Look for streets with plenty of decorated houses – they're usually the candy hotspots!
Safety First: Pack glow sticks, flashlights, a small first-aid kit, and reflective tape. Because nothing ruins Halloween faster than a twisted ankle in the dark.
Timing is Everything: Most neighborhoods start around sunset (approximately 6:45 PM). Early birds catch the full-size candy bars!
The Great Candy Exchange: Set up a trading post at home after trick-or-treating. It's like the stock market, but with chocolate.
