With Trick-or-Treating and Other Fall Fun, it's Spooky Season - City of North Liberty

The leaves are juuuuuuust starting to turn, the days are getting shorter and pumpkin spice everything will soon be everywhere. It’s time to talk fall fun, and get some dates on your calendar, but let’s get this out of the way at the top:

When are we trick-or-treating?

If you’re not a transplant from central Iowa or a few other pockets out east, or haven’t heard of Beggars Night, this may seem like a silly question. North Liberty trick-or-treats on on Halloween, Oct. 31, from 5 to 8 p.m. Remember to take an adult, only knock on doors at houses that have their outdoor lights on and be safe.

But there’s more to do before that frightful day, with even more going on throughout the year on our community event calendar.
