Boynton Beach does not set official trick-or-treat hours. The city’s October calendar lists Halloween events but no trick-or-treat window or curfew. Halloween falls on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, so most neighborhood trick-or-treating will be that evening. It is also the first day of the city’s free Pirate Fest downtown. Some gated communities and homeowners associations set their own times; check with yours.
