At least a dozen New Hampshire communities, including Manchester, are postponing Halloween trick-or-treating because of the wet, windy weather in the forecast.
WMUR reports Hudson, Nashua, Pelham, Salem and Windham are among the cities and towns moving Thursday’s festivities to Saturday.
In Manchester, police announced Wednesday festivities would be delayed until Sunday.
Concord will not be moving Halloween to another day, the city said Wednesday. “The city does not set the trick-or-treating dates. It is based on tradition. Therefore, the city will not be postponing,” wrote Sue Stevens, an executive assistant to the city manager.
Pelham Police Lt. Anne Perriello says area chiefs spoke and they designated when Halloween will take place.
The National Weather Service is forecasting rain for Thursday night.
Perriello says police don’t want tree limbs coming down where children are going to be trick or treating and the don’t want visibility issues when the children will be walking through neighborhoods.
