Trick or Treat Greenfield WI 2026: Hours & Fall Fest

Halloween falls on a Saturday in 2026, and that may change the date. For most of the last decade, the city-wide trick or treat Greenfield holds every fall ran on the Sunday before Halloween, from 4 to 7 p.m., but the last time October 31 landed on a Saturday, the City held it on Halloween itself.

Here is where to find this year's official date, what last year looked like, the free trunk or treat at Konkel Park, and what to know before the porch lights go on.

Greenfield trick or treat 2026: date and time

The City of Greenfield sets the trick or treat date each year and announces it on the City of Greenfield events page, so check there for 2026.

Last year's was Sunday, October 26, 2025, from 4 to 7 p.m., and the City has used the same 4 to 7 p.m. window every year since at least 2018. In 2020, the last time Halloween fell on a Saturday, it was held on Saturday, October 31, so this year's date could be either the Sunday before or Halloween itself.

Whichever day it lands on, it's door to door across the whole city. Households that want trick-or-treaters turn their porch light on, and a dark porch means the house is sitting it out. There's no registration and nothing to sign up for.

If the City keeps its usual 4 to 7 p.m. window, it starts in daylight and runs past sunset, so younger kids can go early while it's still light, and older kids tend to head out later. Bring a flashlight or a reflective bag for the last hour.

Fall Family Fest and trunk or treat at Konkel Park

Before Halloween, the City's free Fall Family Fest runs on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from noon to 3 p.m. at Konkel Park, and it includes a trunk or treat.

Stanley J. Konkel Park

Konkel Park at 5151 W Layton Ave is the city's main park and the home of its fall events. At the trunk or treat, local businesses and organizations decorate their vehicles and set up tables, and kids in costume walk the park collecting candy and giveaways from one trunk to the next.

It started as a way to give families a safe, easy trick or treat in one place, and it suits younger children who aren't ready for a full evening of doors. Admission is free. Parking is in the lots along Layton Ave, and the park has restrooms.

If you're planning the day around it, kids can burn off the candy afterward along Konkel Park's paths and pavilions, from the creek boardwalks to the playgrounds.

The Greenfield Farmers Market also runs at Konkel on Sundays through October, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., which makes the park an easy fall stop on either day of that weekend.

Why the date moves each year

Greenfield usually holds trick or treat on the Sunday before Halloween, but when Halloween falls on a Saturday, it has used October 31 itself.

Here's how the last several years have gone, all from 4 to 7 p.m.:

2025: Sunday, October 26
2024: Sunday, October 27
2023: Sunday, October 29
2022: Sunday, October 30
2021: Sunday, October 31 (Halloween fell on a Sunday)
2020: Saturday, October 31 (Halloween fell on a Saturday)
2019: Sunday, October 27
2018: Sunday, October 28

The hours have changed too. From 2010 through 2014, Greenfield's trick or treat ran from 1 to 4 p.m. The evening window of 4 to 7 p.m. has been in place since at least 2018, and it was also used in 2008 and 2009.

The pattern matters because neighboring communities in Milwaukee County set their own dates and times, and they don't always match Greenfield's. If your kids trick or treat with friends across a city line, check both towns' hours.

If it rains: indoor options

If the weather turns on trick or treat night, Big Putts Mini Golf on S 27th St and Sky Zone on S 76th St are both open on weekends and make good indoor backups for kids in costume.

Big Putts Mini Golf | Greenfield

Big Putts Mini Golf at 4251 S 27th St is an indoor 18-hole course with custom-built holes, fully wheelchair accessible, and open from noon on weekends, until 9 p.m. on Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday. It's a dry way to fill the afternoon before trick or treat starts at 4 p.m.

It also has a party room you can book, which works if a group of families wants a base for the evening.

For more energy to burn, Sky Zone at 4940 S 76th St is a trampoline park that opens at 10 a.m. on weekends.

After the candy run, dinner and a show at Organ Piper Pizza on S 108th St works well, since it normally opens at 4 p.m. on weekends and the organist takes requests. The restaurant posts separate holiday hours, so check them for Halloween night.

And for the grown-ups, the flavor of the day at Kopp's on W Layton Ave is available until 10 p.m. on Sundays and 11 p.m. on Saturdays.

The weekends around Halloween fill up with fall things to do in Greenfield, from the Sunday farmers market to indoor mini golf.

Quick tips for trick or treat night

Porch light on if you're handing out candy, off if you're not.

The City's own reminders are simple: visit only houses with the lights on, walk rather than run, stay on sidewalks and driveways, cross at corners or in crosswalks, and keep costumes clear of lit jack-o'-lanterns.

If you're driving during trick or treat hours, slow down on residential streets and watch for kids crossing between parked cars, especially once it's dark.
