PITTSBURGH — With the recently announced official Halloween Trick or Treat hours, the Office of Film and Event Management would like to remind residents that they can apply for a block party permit to extend their holiday festivities.
Typically, block party permits can only be issued on weekends or federal holidays, but Halloween is the exception—in an effort to make our local streets the safest possible environment for Pittsburgh’s kids as they trick or treat.
Halloween block party permits are valid from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
The applications must still meet the rest of the block party permit requirements:
Churches and other houses of worship are also eligible to apply for block party permits, so long as they are located on the street being requested and the rest of the conditions are met.
The fee for these permits is $25 and the application must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, October 23, to be accepted. The application can be found at: https://pittsburghpa.gov/publicsafety/ofem-eventpermits.
All questions regarding block party permits can be directed to the Office of Film & Event Management at: ofem@pittsburghpa.gov.
