Delaware trick-or-treat times, parades and trunk-or-treats
We hope you've stocked up on candy because Halloween is creepin' up on us.
Here's when your town is trick-or-treating, plus where the kids can hit a trunk-or-treat with first responders, a costume parade or other community Halloween events.
