Children in Des Moine, Iowa, will be able to go trick-or-treating in costume on Halloween night for the first time in decades.

Iowa's capital celebrates Beggar's Night on the night before Halloween, during which children dress up in costumes and go door-to-door trick or treating. However, officials have postponed trick or treating to the following day, Halloween day, due to predicted inclement weather.
