Trick or Treat

Trick or treat will look different in Berkshire County this year with COVID-19 regulations guiding what communities will allow. Some communities are going forward with door to door trick or treat while others are modifying trick or treat to create lower risk interactions.
 
Some communities have opted out of trick or treat all together.
 
A full list of Berkshire County scheduled trick or treat times and events can be found here.
