2013 Buffalo-Area Trick-Or-Treating Times
Put on your costumes, grab your bags and buckets, and start planning for your inevitable sugar high because Halloween is here!
Before you and your kids (or just you – shh, you’re still allowed to go trick-or-treating as an adult!) head out on the 31st to collect as much candy as you can possibly hold, make sure you know when you should be heading out. The city of Buffalo and all its surrounding areas all have different trick-or-treating hours, and they’re known to change year-to-year.
Luckily for you, we’re compiling a list of all the different starting times and curfews for Halloween night as the information becomes available. Check the list and have a worry-free, treat-filled, spooky night!
