Get those costumes — and candy — ready because Halloween is upon us. 

For participating neighborhoods, the City of Pittsburgh says trick-or-treat times will take place between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31.  

“We want everyone to be able to safely enjoy this holiday, so we suggest that parents and guardians check all candy before allowing children to indulge,” a news release said. 

For additional safety, city officials recommended trick-or-treaters wear costumes that are bright. Candy seekers also should carry a light to ensure they are visible to everyone around them.   

Motorists are asked to be especially vigilant on Halloween night, avoiding speeding and keeping their eyes eyes peeled for trick-or-treaters.
