What are the times for trick-or-treating in Beaufort County?

Editor’s Note: This story has been updated. Information for Halloween 2019 can be found here.

We’ve put together lists of haunted houses, took you behind the scenes on a ghost tour, and told you about truck-or-treat events aplenty.

But there’s one question about Halloween our readers were still asking on Monday: When are the official hours for old-fashioned trick-or-treating?

The quick answer: There aren’t any.

We called police departments around Beaufort and Jasper counties and were told that local municipalities in the area typically do not set hours for kids to trick-or-treat. Police department representatives told us that they were leaving it up to parents to decide what times were best for their children who wanted to go door-to-door on the holiday.

Here’s a list of local events where costumed kids can fill their buckets with treats on Oct. 31.
