Rain
The city moved the festival indoors because of the wind forecast. The National Weather Service in Miami forecast a sunny Saturday with north winds gusting to 25 mph and a chance of showers from 7 p.m. The city has not published a rain date.

For local nonprofits and businesses
The city invites nonprofits with a location within 5 miles of Palm Beach Gardens to host a Trick-or-Treat Street booth. Each gets a 10-by-10-foot space, a 6-foot table, two chairs and candy to hand out, and is asked to decorate the booth and staff it all evening. Sponsors must have a physical location inside the city limits. Both are arranged through recinfo@pbgfl.gov.

Halloween falls a week later, on Saturday, Oct. 31. Palm Beach Gardens has posted no official trick-or-treat hours; see our trick-or-treat hours page and the full list of Halloween events in and around the city.
