These MA Towns Are Postponing Trick-or-Treating

It seems Mother Nature has more tricks than treats in mind for kids this Halloween — a scarily gloomy forecast will make it tough for trick-or-treaters to run door-to-door without getting soaked. Heavy rain and high wind are expected throughout the day and many towns across the region worry the weather could make it dangerous for trick-or-treaters due to reduced visibility, not to mention put a damper on the night.

Several towns across Massachusetts postponed or rescheduled Halloween trick-or-treating and those that have not are offering suggested hours.
