Lancaster, Pennsylvania (and, indeed, all of Lancaster County) suggests Trick-or-Treating to be held 6-8pm the Friday before the 31st, whenever the 31st occurs on a Saturday, Sunday (e.g., 2020, 2021, 2026, 2027). So the festivities could be on the 29th or 30th. This may date from when DST ended on the last Sunday of October. The 2005 onward extension was motivated in part by lobbyists from the candy industry.
