Trunk or Treat & Movie Night

Friday, October 16th, 2026

Rain Date: October 23rd

Trunk or Treat: 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. in Rec Lot E

Movie to start at dark in Pierson Park

Ghosts, ghouls, and little goblins—get your costumes ready!


Our annual Trunk or Treat is back on Friday, October 16 in Recreation Parking Lot E from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM! Families can trick-or-treat safely from car to car as participants show off their creatively decorated vehicles.


Ready to create a magical, memorable evening for our community's children? We are looking for enthusiastic community members to step up, decorate a trunk, and hand out candy (participants supply their own treats). Children do not need to register to attend, but signing up your vehicle ensures our local kids have a safe, festive, and fun-filled place to celebrate together. Your decorated vehicle can truly make all the difference in filling the lot with holiday magic. Join us in making this a wonderful tradition for our kids!
