Macon Mayor Robert Reichert is recommending that the city's children go trick-or-treating on Saturday, Oct. 30.
Because Halloween falls on a Sunday night, the mayor says Saturday trick-or-treating will "ensure that they will be able to make the most out of the evening and not be bothered with following day bus schedules and morning classes."
The city of Macon will also host a fall festival on Friday, Oct. 29 from 6-8 p.m. at Central City Park for kids 12 and under.
Warner Robins Mayor Chuck Shaheen also issued a statement encouraging children to trick-or-treat on Saturday, October 30 from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. The statement says surrounding areas will also hold trick-or-treat at that time.
Centerville and Perry will both host trick-or-treating on Saturday, Oct. 30 from 6 to 8 p.m.
In Forsyth, Halloween comes a little early on Friday night, Oct. 29.
Milledgeville will celebrate Halloween on Sunday, October 31.
The cities of Gray and Dublin are not setting specific trick-or-treating times.

Homeowners: If you do not wish to participate in Trick-or-Treat, please keep your porch light off. If you wish to receive Trick-or-Treaters, please keep your porch light on.
Regardless if you are participating in Trick-or-Treat or not, please drive extra slowly on Saturday night and be mindful of pedestrians and children walking in the street!
