National Trick or Treat Day History

National Trick or Treat Day began as a movement led by the Halloween & Costume Association to change Halloween's date from October 31st to the last Saturday of October. The Association argued that it would be safer and more enjoyable for kids to go Trick or Treat on a Saturday rather than on a week day. The leaders of the movement stated that the lack of time and supervision on a week day increases the number of kids injured during Halloween. Although the movement’s petition picked up over 120,000 signatures, the Halloween & Costume Association had to change its goal. In 2019, the organization created the National Trick or Treat day. The observance occurs on the last Saturday of October.
