Some communities in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania are announcing Halloween Trick or Treat cancellations because of a Halloween storm on October 31, 2019. Many of them have pushed back trick or treating times and days to the weekend, although Pittsburgh is still holding trick or treating on October 31, 2019.
You can see a round up of cancellations later in this article as well as specific trick or treating times for each Allegheny County municipality for 2019.
