When is Trick or Treating in Bedford This Year?
Here is everything you need to know about all upcoming Bedford Halloween activities!
Two years ago, trick or treating in Bedford was postponed due to a freak October snowstorm. In 2012, the annual children's event was nearly delayed again when Superstorm Sandy lashed the Northeast and left many Bedford homes without power and several roads closed due to downed trees and wires.
This year, Bedford officials are keeping their fingers crossed that the annual tradition of All Hallows' Eve isn't disrupted again.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, the 2013 Bedford Trick or Treat hours take place from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31.
