Lots of Trunks and Loads of Treats

Trunk or treats and commercial district trick or treat evenings offer families an alternative to traditional neighborhood events.

It’s time for trunk or treat, a Halloween alternative to the quintessentially American ritual of door-to-door candy collecting. Kids go in costume from car to car or shop to shop for candy and other treats. For parents, it’s a safe and easy alternative to trick-or-treating in neighborhoods. Cars and shops are often decorated in fun ways, and kids can enjoy all the delights of getting candy within a safe environment. Here are some upcoming public events:
