Many have discovered, although I’m not sure of the origins that “Trunk or-Treating” can be the way to go for Halloween! The benefits are endless:

  •          Less walking for little kids
  •          Safer environment for Halloween
  •          Fun for everyone

While there are many sponsors for these events in various places all over the country, if you’ve never had a chance to “Trunk-or-Treat” try starting one in your community this year!

So what is the best part of this fun tradition? Picking an area (like your cul-de-sac where you live) and invite the neighbors and their kids. Decorate your car’s trunk to match a specific theme. You can keep it simple or go all out! The “trick” to it is finding something you are passionate about and get creative! Your creativity (and budget) is the only limit!

Here’s a link to 28 Trunk or Treat decorating ideas you wish you had time for!

And, Pinterest also has some great ideas - check out their link.

Here are photos of a few to get your creative juices flowing:

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

My neighbor friend is sitting next to me, chuckling.  She just said, she'd rather be "drunk or treating" on Halloween!

Dorie trunk or treats are becoming very popular, and a couple at my church is doing a trunk or treat this year.  Trunk or treat is a great way to keep the kids safe and yet let them trick or treat.

Dorie- I'd first heard about this several years ago but have never seen one.  It sounds like so much fun, safe for the kiddies and a good way to have fun with your neighbors.

Good morning Dorie.  The church I had attended when I lived in another city had this every Halloween. They had a great turnout, well lit place for all the kids of any age to have a great time

Hi Dorie -- I first read about "trunk or treat" on ActiveRain a few years ago and now it seems to spreading.  It certainly makes sense.  The possibilities for creative expression are likely endless.  Fun too.

Hi Dorie - That's a cool and interesting idea. I don't think it has made it way to northern Colorado yet, but I'd probably be the last to know.

Dorie, trick or treating in my neighborhood gets interesting.  First the cute little kids on the block come by in adorable costumes, then kids from all over town come in in vans, and they're pretty cute.  Then at about 8:30, we get cranky looking adults, "Hey, Man!  Can I get some candy for my kids?'  Sometimes I just turn off all the lights and go to the back of the house and blog!
