Trunk-or-treating is an alternative to trick-or-treating, in which parents and guardians gather their vehicles in one spot, typically a parking lot, open their trunks and give out candy as children walk from car to car.

What should you charge families for admission to the trunk or treat fundraiser? The average cost of admission is $5 per person — both children and adults should pay.

Allow an hour for cars to set up before the festivities begin. Have someone on-site to direct cars to parking spaces or assign each registered car a number and draw numbers on the parking lot in chalk ahead of time. If possible, leave an empty parking spot between vehicles to help space out the trick-or-treating crowd.

Although there's no specific age restrictions nationally for trick-or-treating, a few cities do have certain guidelines on who can go out and seek candy from their neighbors.

This annual event began in the mid-1990s as a "fall festival" for an alternative to trick-or-treating, but became "trunk-or-treat" two decades later. Some have called for more city or community group-sponsored trunk-or-treats, so they can be more inclusive. By 2006 these had become increasingly popular.

Trunk-or-treating is an alternative to trick-or-treating, in which parents and guardians gather their vehicles in one spot, typically a parking lot, open their trunks and give out candy as children walk from car to car.

The events are often held in parking lots or other well-lit, contained areas, so children are at less risk of being hit by a vehicle on a dark road. Trunk-or-treating also gives families a chance to get to know each other.

Families can decorate their car trunks and pass out candy. Kids travel from one car to another “trunk or treating.” If you want to fundraise as well, you can charge the cars to participate or sell food such as hot dogs, sodas and other refreshments.

Example Rules for Trunk or Treat Participants Trunk participants may enter any vehicle (Car, Truck, Motorcycle, Tractor etc.) ... Trunk participants must provide own power if decorations need it. Each vehicle must be decorated in some way, though the decorations do not need to be Halloween themed.

Get candy and goodies Ask families to bring candy to pass out. Budget some funds to buy extra candy to refill cars and get some volunteers to walk around to pass out the extra candy. This helps to ensure the event last longer, since the whole point of the event is to show off decorations and collect goodies.
