Four Kenton County communities have confirmed official trick-or-treat hours for Saturday, Oct. 31, all landing on the same 6 to 8 p.m. window.

Fort Mitchell, Crescent Springs, Edgewood and Lakeside Park each set the two-hour block, according to city websites and WLWT's 2026 regional trick-or-treat guide. The guide lists confirmed times across the tri-state area.

Here are the confirmed hours for communities in the NKY Current coverage area:

  • Edgewood: Oct. 31, 6–8 p.m.

Three cities have not yet posted schedules. Crestview Hills, Villa Hills and Fort Wright have no 2026 trick-or-treat announcements on their websites as of Oct. 8. Fort Wright's city council has historically set the same Oct. 31, 6–8 p.m. window, according to council minutes from 2018 and 2023, but no official 2026 confirmation has appeared.
