Brick Township will be trick-or-treating on Halloween, as it always does, Mayor John G. Ducey said Tuesday.

Ducey addressed Halloween in response to several messages he's received asking if and when Brick will celebrate.

With Halloween falling on a Sunday, many people have asked what time children can be expected to start their annual search for treats.

"People should use their common sense," Ducey said, noting that means not knocking on someone's door at 8 a.m.

"We don’t legislate kids having fun going door-to-door," Ducey said. "Government doesn’t need to be involved with kids' holidays and trick-or-treating."

Brick Township does have a curfew around Halloween to limit mischief; unaccompanied minors are not permitted to be out past 8 p.m. from Oct. 30 through Nov. 1, with limited exceptions, under a 1997 ordinance.
