"Costume Parades Delayed: PEI Postpones Halloween Until Weather Clears"
Due to a combination of heavy rain and gusty winds, authorities on Prince Edward Island have officially postponed Halloween celebrations this year. The decision aims to ensure the safety of children and families who would normally trick‑or‑treat through neighbourhoods.
While no new date has been firmly set, residents are being advised to stay alert by:
-
Checking for official updates on the rescheduled trick‑or‑treat day.
-
Ensuring costumes include reflective elements and using umbrellas or raincoats if stepping outside.
-
Securing outdoor décor and lighting to avoid hazards caused by strong winds and slick conditions.
Organizers say that once the weather improves and conditions are deemed safe, the community will resume festivities with full enthusiasm—just a little later than planned.
While a new date is yet to be confirmed, residents are encouraged to follow these safety tips during Halloween:
✅ Halloween Safety Tips
-
Use Reflective Costumes: Ensure children’s costumes have reflective strips or glow sticks to improve visibility at night.
-
Stay in Groups: Trick-or-treat with family members or friends—never alone.

Carry a Flashlight: A small flashlight or wearable LED light can help kids see and be seen.
-
Check Weather Updates: Make sure to monitor rain and wind conditions before going outside.
-
Walk Safely: Avoid slippery surfaces and watch for puddles, fallen branches, or debris.
-
Stay on Sidewalks: Cross streets carefully and always use crosswalks.
-
Inspect Candy: Adults should check all candy before consumption.
-
Secure Outdoor Decorations: Tie down decorations and lights to prevent them from blowing away in strong winds.
Once weather conditions improve, the community will celebrate Halloween safely with costumes, treats, and fun—just a little later than planned!
