Bethlehem Tp's Trick-or-Treat Scheduled For Halloween This Year

Trick or Treat in Bethlehem Township will be held this year on Saturday, October 31, 2015, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. This is a change from past years, when trick or treat was usually held on the Friday before Halloween.

    I still get a laugh when I recall how when I moved to PA from NJ years ago, I was really stunned by the fact that in PA the municipalities dictate when the residents are allowed to celebrate a holiday (they have that authority?). In NJ, trick or treat was on Halloween regardless of the night it fell on. You started late in the afternoon and finished when everyone's porch lights went out. The municipality kept their nose out of it.

    Then you should by all means move back to jersey. Municipalities schedule these days for the safety of children, and to advise motorists. I should not have to explain this.

    It will bring more people from outside the Township, because they will now have two nights to grovel for candy.

    @7:13,
    You are correct. In the 7+ years I worked in NJ, it was commonplace to see daylight trick-or-treaters, regardless of the day of the week. It was always on the 31st.

    I was thinking more like Mediterranean Manslab.

    Bernie if you go the Mediterranean manslab route, don't forget the part of the costume that represents the physical gifts of the human tripod.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion.

If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
