Join us for a safe and fun Trunk Or Treat experience - the first of its kind in the area. Let's give the kids a memorable Halloween this year!

NOTE - Please read this information carefully as their are two different registration types - Option 1 - Registering to hand out candy and decorating your vehicle (use the 'Vehicle Registration - Handing Out Candy' option) OR Option 2 - choosing a time slot so your kids can come to Trunk Or Treat and collect candy (use the 'Trick Or Treat' option and select a time slot).

 

Option 1 - Registering to hand out candy:

Each car is highly encouraged to create a theme and decorate your vehicle / trunk. Some examples are included in the photo gallery. Your theme can be scary, funny or anything you wish, but please ensure it is appropriate for a family event. 

We'll have a $150 top prize for the best trunk or treat vehicle!

All candy being given away must be factory sealed and packaged. No homemade goods or self packaged loose candies are to be distributed. You are responsible for bringing candy to hand out, it is not provided. The event is designed to accomodate up to 300 trick or treaters. We require that you bring a small table or elevated surface to place between the back of your vehicle and the walkway where kids will be passing by. Use tongs or other type of mechanism to avoid handling the candy with your hands directly when giving it to the children OR setup your table in such a way that allows the kids to grab individual treats - not a large bowl, but rather individual treats, bags or cups with your items spaced in an individual manner. You are also required to bring your own hand sanitizer please.

After you have signed up your vehicle to hand out candy, you will recieve a PDF ticket with important information. Please print this ticket and have it with you upon arrival. Vehicle setup will begin at 11:30am and you must be ready to hand out candy at 1pm. Late arrivals may not be accomodated as children will be walking a one-way path trick or treating begining at 1pm. Vehicles should plan to be on site as late as 5pm so that all children have had time to walk to each vehicle. If you need to leave early, please speak to one of our staff to safely escort your vehicle away from the trunk or treating area.

 

Option 2 - Choosing a Time Slot To Bring Your Child Trick Or Treating:

To properly space each groups bubble, we have spaced out the registration times and limited the number of arrivals per time slot. Please choose an available time slot and arrive promplty within that time frame or you may be refused entry. Be sure to bring your printed ticket which is a downloadable PDF file provided at the end of the registration process. This ensures you have a reservation for the event. Upon arrival, you will recieve a number along with information about an FM radio station to tune into. We ask that you remain in your vehicle with your group until your number is called over your radio. This helps ensure physical distancing between each group. When called, you'll head over to the Trunk Or Treating area, get a complimentry group photo taken, and then start collecting candy. Each person in your group is required to wear a face covering and sanatize your hands. Please bring sanitizer for your group.
