With rain showers and below-freezing temperatures predicted for Halloween night, City of Bloomington officials say scheduled trick-or-treating is still a go for Thursday.

City spokesperson Yael Ksander says the city only moves trick-or-treating hours in the case of dangerous conditions.

“I don’t think we have that in the forecast yet,” she says.

National Weather Service predictions show a high of 51 degrees and a low of 29 degrees on Thursday, with a 90 percent chance of rain. And that rain could turn to snow after 11 p.m., when temperatures drop below freezing.

Alternative Indoor Halloween Events

College Mall is hosting an indoor trick-or-treat opportunity from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, called “Mall O Ween.”

Additionally, Ellettsville Christian Church will hold an indoor Trunk or Treat event, complete with a cake walk, on Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
