How to Attend Trunk-or-Treat
If you are just bringing your kids to trunk-or-treat, registration is not required! This event is open to the public and you can stop by for some fun anytime during the event. However, if you plan on opening up your trunk and having your vehicle be one of the trunk-or-treat stops, you’ll need to sign up to be a Trunk-or-Treat host (see below).
How to be a Trunk-or-Treat Host
Do you want to decorate your trunk and turn it into a silly monster or a fall wonderland or a castle? There are only 3 requirements to be a Trunk-or-Treat Host:
1. Commit to decorating your trunk (at least a little bit). Even if you only put up a garland, the more magical we can make it for the kids, the better! We will also have a “Best Decorated Trunk” contest, so the more creative your decorations, the greater your chance is at winning the contest!
2. Commit to providing candy/treats/toys to hand out to the kids! When they come trunk-or-treating and they stop at your vehicle, you’ll need to have something to give them!
3. Please sign you and your vehicle up so that we know you’re coming! We’ll save you a parking spot! It’s important to sign up as soon as possible so that we know how many cars to expect. You can sign up by clicking the button below.

Trunk or Treat Host spots are SOLD OUT!
