Harrisburg to hold trick-or-treat on Halloween, host spooky event for families

Harrisburg trick or treat night 2022

Pick out a costume because Halloween is headed to Harrisburg.

The city announced that it will hold trick-or-treat night on Halloween, Oct. 31, changing up a longtime routine of having it on the Thursday before the holiday.

Trick-or-treating will take place in Harrisburg on Halloween, a Tuesday, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

According to Matt Maisel, communications director for Harrisburg, the city decided to switch the date to space out trick or treating from its “Bash at the Brownstone” event on Wednesday, Oct. 25.

Harrisburg held the first “Bash at the Brownstone” Halloween at Reservoir Park last year, and it was a hit among residents, Maisel said.

“It was incredible; so many people showed up,” he said. “The success the first year really showed us that we needed to do this again and make it an annual event.”

“Bash at the Brownstone” will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Reservoir Park Brownstone building and include a costume contest, face painting, reptile petting zoo, magician, crafts, games and food for families.
