As a reminder, most communities in central Ohio coordinate Trick-or-Treat via the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), keeping in mind factors such as day of week, public safety and weather. Trick-or-Treat is not an official, City-sponsored event.
When weather conditions are poor, the City does not attempt to delay, postpone or otherwise recommend rescheduling Trick-or-Treat without a major compelling reason such as severe weather warnings (heavy thunderstorms with lightning, hail, etc.) or a non-weather related community threat. A weather forecast of rain, cold weather or wind would not meet these conditions.
Parents and guardians are always encouraged to exercise their best judgment in determining whether or not weather conditions are safe and/or convenient for Trick-or-Treating.
