Trunk or treat is a popular Halloween tradition that provides a safe and controlled environment for children to trick-or-treat. Instead of going door-to-door, participants gather in a designated area, usually a parking lot, where vehicles are decorated in various themes and filled with treats. This allows children to move from car to car, collecting candy in a fun and secure setting.

Trunk or treat events have gained popularity in the last few years due to their ability to bring communities together and offer a unique twist on traditional trick-or-treating. These events often include additional activities such as games, costume contests, and food vendors, creating a festive atmosphere for all attendees.
