City of Pittsburgh Announces Halloween Hours for 2022

PITTSBURGH – Spooky season has arrived in the Steel City. This year Halloween will take place on Monday, October 31 and kids will go door-to-door in their neighborhoods in search of their favorite treats.

In all Pittsburgh neighborhoods, trick-or-treating will occur from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The City reminds residents to drive with caution and slow down during trick-or-treating hours. Let’s all do our part to keep our kids safe and be on the lookout for any risks.

For a safe trick-or-treating experience, follow these tips:

• Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors.
• Choose face paint and makeup instead of masks if possible to reduce the risk obstructing a child's vision.
• Have kids carry flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers.
• Make sure costumes are the correct size to prevent trips and falls.
• If you are escorting children, please keep an eye on the road for vehicles.
• Don't walk on the street. Stay on sidewalks and cross streets when safe at intersections and crosswalks.
