Children in Des Moines will experience trick-or-treating on Halloween for the first time in decades, due to storms delaying the traditional Beggars' Night.
The Beggars' Night tradition started in 1938 to curb vandalism and violence on Halloween, prompting Des Moines children to trick-or-treat the night before.
With storms, including potential tornadoes and hail, this year's trick-or-treating is postponed, underscoring the importance of community safety during festivities.
The tradition encourages children to tell jokes in exchange for candy, creating a playful spirit, a fun element that sets it apart from typical trick-or-treating.
