Trick-or-Treat Nights in York

It's almost Halloween, and that means it's time for Trick-or-treating!  Halloween is Thursday, October 31 and most places in York are sticking with that night to go trick- or-treating.  Check out these websites that have compiled lists of local trick-or-treat nights.  Remember that North York Borough will require wristbands.  Last year, when the weather ruined the evening for many families in the area, West York Borough hosted an event at Shelley Park by the Fairgrounds and invited York City residents that had nowhere to go.
