I allow it if it's a parent or sibling accompanying a child. Or if they have an amazing costume. If it's a grown ass man wearing a trash bag or a $3 mask not so much.

When I took the kids trick or treating there was one house with a fire pit that was offering candy, Pokemon cards or beer depending on the age and preference of the trick or treater
Hmm I guess in my mind it's when you have a job that pays you well enough to have fun money and buy your own candy.
So age isn't even a factor.
You are asking this on Lemmy? Many of us go to conventions just hoping to see a glimpse of a 23yr old in a costume.
If you still βletβ them apparently they are young enough
I'm fairly old and don't have kids and have never lived anywhere (as an adult) that had trick or treating. Based on my childhood memories of participating, I think having more older kids and young adults as, essentially, guardians, would be great. The parent to kids ratio was not great 30+ years ago. Just don't send out 23 year old creepers.
No age limit! I will give ANYONE candy, I don't even care if you're wearing a costume- but I really need you to say trick or treat. Opening my door and everyone just standing there silently is painful.
If you're looking out for your kid/brother for safety, no limits. Otherwise, 16.

Anyone of any age can dress up and not have it be weird... but trick-'r-treating? Anything over 12 is just fucking weird to me. I'm instantly sus of any adult doing it (unless they have a kid with them).
