Trick-or-Treating and More Halloween Fun

Posted on: September 24, 2024

When is Trick-or-treating?

If you’re not a transplant from central Iowa or a few other pockets out east, or haven’t heard of Beggars Night, this may seem like a silly question. North Liberty trick-or-treats on Halloween, Oct. 31, from 5 to 8 p.m. Remember to take an adult, only knock on doors at houses that have their outdoor lights on and be safe.

But there’s more before that frightful day to do in town.

Halloween Trail

Let the kids get your home ready for Halloween. Children 12 years and younger may come join us at the Community Center for painting or carving a pumpkin.
