Okie dokie. I wasn't sure. Where I'm originally from it was rarely done on the actual date.

Some places around the state do it on other days, but generally they are restricted to just locals. One neighborhood in Naugatuck comes to mind.
There have been pushes to make it the last Saturday of the month, but there has been public outrage at the idea.

Of all the problems in Naugatuck, Halloween being on a weekday is the least of them.

I lived in PA for grad school and they did it on a different day sometimes, they even scheduled rain dates for inclement weather. It’s not unheard of.

Also went to school for a time in PA and they always did weekend before too in south central area. Kind of wonder if that’s a strictly PA thing because CT is always the 31st.

When I lived in Ohio it was similar. They specifically called that night beggar's night, rather than Halloween.

Same. We did it the weekend closest.

Hell yeah 31st gang! Love it

Yup! That's where I'm from! Most Halloween stuff occurred on the weekend and not necessarily on the actual date.

Another former PA peep & my town had a scheduled, official trick-or-treat the Saturday before Halloween. No rain date though

Rain days? We would go out even if it snowed.

I just moved from mass and they always did it Saturday before
