Halloween falls on a Wednesday this year, so most trick-or-treating in 2012 will probably occur on a weekday.

Some events—like New Town's SPOOKtacular or Lindenwood University Campus YMCA's Spooky Saturday—involve trick-or-treating at local businesses on Oct. 27, however neighborhood trick-or-treating will happen on Wednesday.

Parents can bring children under age 10 to historic Main Street from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 31 where children can trick-or-treat for candy from local shops.
