What is Trunk or Treat?
Trunk or Treat is a Halloween-themed event where people decorate the trunks of their cars and distribute candy to children in a centralized parking lot. It offers a safe, family-friendly alternative to traditional trick-or-treating and has gained popularity across the United States over the past two decades.
The event is often hosted by community groups, schools, religious organizations, or small businesses, creating a vibrant, festive atmosphere where kids can enjoy decorated cars, games, music, and treats—all in one place.
The concept is simple. Cars are parked in the parking lot with their trunks open, facing an aisle. Each trunk can feature a game, a giveaway, or something fun for the kids. Because children gather in one area, it’s safer and more convenient for parents.
A variant of trick-or-treating, known as trunk-or-treating (or Halloween tailgating), occurs when children are offered treats from the trunks of cars parked in a church parking lot, or sometimes, a school parking lot. In a trunk-or-treat event, each automobile’s trunk (boot) is decorated with a theme, such as children’s literature, movies, or scripture. Trunk-or-treating has grown in popularity due to its perception as safer than going door to door, which resonates well with parents.
Truck or Treat may be an alternative to traditional trick or treating during the COVID-19 Crisis because everything can be controlled in one area.

The History of Trunk or Treat
Trunk or Treat began in the late 1990s as an alternative to door-to-door trick-or-treating. Originally popular in church communities, the idea was to provide a safer, more controlled environment for children to collect candy. Participants would gather in a parking lot, decorate their vehicle trunks, and hand out candy from their cars.
Over the years, the concept has grown into full-fledged fall festivals, complete with costume contests, bounce houses, food trucks, and of course, custom-printed Trunk or Treat Bags that help promote the sponsors of the event.
