In a first since 1938, Des Moines, Iowa, kids will trick-or-treat on Halloween

There’s a handful of places around the Midwest that do beggars night. The main reason I’ve heard was that it was to stop children from pulling pranks like egging/TPing houses, which honestly makes no sense to me. You just freed up their entire Halloween night for that by having trick or treating on a different day
