Lexington, KY, October 27, 2026 —
Lexington police are issuing Halloween safety guidance for residents, including designated trick-or-treat hours from 6 to 8 p.m. The department’s advice includes visiting only homes with porch lights on and making sure children remain visible.
The hours provide a stated timeframe for trick-or-treating, while the porch-light guidance offers a way for residents to identify homes that appear to be welcoming visitors. Police also emphasized visibility for children as part of the safety advice. The information provided does not specify additional measures for improving visibility.
The announcement does not identify which Lexington is meant, provide a calendar date or year for the hours, or say whether the timing applies to a particular neighborhood or the entire area served by the department. It also does not provide details about enforcement, special events, or other Halloween-related arrangements.
The guidance described is limited to the listed hours and two recommendations: visit homes with porch lights on and ensure children stay visible. No direct quotations from police were included in the available information, and no additional safety instructions were specified.
Residents seeking details beyond the stated hours and tips would need information from a fuller department announcement. The information available does not name a specific contact, website, or follow-up resource.
