Halloween on Saturday

Join the movement to trick-or-treat on the last Saturday of October every year!

This year, we have the rare opportunity to trick-or-treat on a Saturday. It won't happen again for another 11 years in 2037 due to leap years. What if we could just trick-or-treat on Saturdays every year?

The Idea

Halloween should always remain October 31. But trick-or-treating works best when it happens on a Saturday night.

When Halloween falls on a weekday, families rush through the evening, kids have school the next morning, and fewer neighbors are home to participate.

Moving trick-or-treating to the last Saturday of October keeps the spirit of Halloween while making the night bigger, safer, and more fun.

Saturday Is Just Better

🎃 More Participation

Families are free on Saturday night. More kids can enjoy the full evening.

🍬 More Candy Houses

More neighbors are home. More lights on. More candy.

👻 Safer Streets

More adults around and more daylight hours make the night safer for everyone.

🏃 Fewer Parents Rushing Home From Work

Don't you hate the stress of having to rush home from work to get dinner ready to get your kids out for trick-or-treating?

Halloween Doesn't Move

Halloween itself remains October 31. Decorations, parties, haunted houses, and celebrations stay exactly the same.

The only change is the night kids go door-to-door for candy.
