What day will you go trick-or-treating: Saturday or Sunday?

  Published at  | Updated at

IDAHO FALLS— Little goblins, ghouls, and ghosts will be getting ready to trick-or-treat for Halloween next weekend but the big question is, what day will everyone be celebrating?

Halloween falls on a Sunday this year and according to several local community Facebook groups, people are torn as to which day to take their kids trick-or-treating.

Several people say they are planning to trick-or-treat on Saturday because of their religious beliefs. Another reason is that Sunday is a school night.

Others say they will trick-or-treat on Sunday, the actual holiday, while some plan to take their children trick-or-treating on both Saturday and Sunday.

Most large cities in Eastern Idaho are planning to hold events before Sunday, Oct. 31.
