The annual tradition of Trick or Treat (Beggar’s Night) will be observed on Halloween night, which is Tuesday, October 31 from 6-8 p.m. The City coordinates Trick or Treat via the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC). As a reminder, Trick or Treat is not an official “City-sponsored” event. When weather conditions are poor, the City does not attempt to delay, postpone or otherwise recommend rescheduling Trick or Treat without a major compelling reason such as severe weather warnings (heavy thunderstorms with lightning, hail, etc.) or a non-weather related community threat. A weather forecast of rain, cold weather or wind would not meet these conditions. Parents and guardians are always encouraged to exercise their best judgment in determining whether or not weather conditions are safe and/or convenient for trick-or-treating.
