Kanawha County leaders have made a big decision for local families: trick-or-treat will now officially happen every year on Halloween night. No more confusion over which day to send your little ghouls and goblins out for candy—October 31 is locked in for all the spooky fun.
What does this mean for Kanawha County?
The Kanawha County Commission made the announcement to take the guesswork out of one of the community’s favorite nights. By setting trick-or-treat on Halloween night every year, parents and kids can plan their costumes, parties, and candy runs without any last-minute surprises. It’s a move that brings consistency—and probably saves a few parents from having to answer, “Is Halloween on a school night this year?” one more time.
This decision feels like a win for both kids and adults. Kids get their candy on the spookiest night of the year, and parents get peace of mind. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a little order in the chaos of Halloween?
