Portland trick-or-treaters may not want to wait too long to hit the streets — the Rose City has one of the earliest Halloween sunsets in the nation.
Why it matters: Whether your goblins prefer daylight or darkness, local sunset times can help you find the sweet spot for Saturday's festivities.
By the numbers: The sun will set just before 6pm in Portland.
- Compare that to large swaths of Texas, the midwest and the south, where costumed children will see an extra hour or more of sunlight than we do.
What's next: Later Saturday night, much of the country will shift clocks back one hour.
- Sunday marks the end of daylight saving time and the start of much earlier sunsets all around.
