Halloween Events and Trunk or Treats (Many of these event include a trunk or treat, trick or treat, or candy giveaway) 2024
***Trunk or Treat events below are noted either:
T or T for events that are primarily trunk or treat events - Go, get candy, and leave OR
T or T+ for events that have a trunk or treat as part of a larger event - May have inflatables, games, or other activities (harder to get kids to leave)
This will help families plan accordingly.
If you only want to take your children a few places to get candy, choose the T or T events.
If you want to go somewhere and spend a little extra time (some are even all day or all evening), choose the T or T+ events.
