Beggar's Night

The City of Ankeny’s Beggar’s Night is Sunday, October 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. For residents who will be distributing goodies, please light up your front door area indicating “beggars” are welcome. Be sure the sidewalk or path to the door is clear of debris or plants that might impair their walking. Please also keep pets inside; this will protect them from being frightened or inadvertently biting a child.

Drivers are urged to use extra caution during this annual event. In fact, children are four times more likely to be hit by a vehicle on Halloween than any other night of the year.
