What kids are wearing this year, and how to dress for an evening in a car park.
SuperheroSpider-Man topped the list for kids: 2.3 million of them.
PrincessA classic that never leaves the top five.
WitchThe hat does most of the work. Add a broom for the photos.

Since the 1990s
Churches started it. Parents wanted a Halloween with less gore, fewer strangers and no crossing busy roads in the dark, so congregations parked in a circle, opened their boots and handed out candy from the back. In car-dependent suburbs it simply worked better than a street of houses far apart โ and a flat car park suits children with allergies, wheelchairs and strollers too.
Trunk or treat events in Chattanooga run from Oct 23 to Oct 31, 2026: 36 events. The busiest weekend is Oct 30 โ Nov 1, with 19 events.
Nothing is listed in Chattanooga itself for Oct 17 โ Oct 18, but 2 events are on nearby, in Calhoun and Kingston.
Yes: 2 of the 36 listed are free, including BBMA Hixson Fall Festival at Big Blue Marble Academy Hixson and Oktoberfest Festival at Living Hope Lutheran Church. Most trunk or treats are free to walk into.
Yes: 7 more events are listed within reach of Chattanooga, in Calhoun, Kingston, Cleveland and Soddy-Daisy and more. The soonest is ๐๐ป๐ SLAR's 2026 Trunk-or-Treat and Costume Contest! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ in Calhoun, on Sat, Oct 17.
At 36 venues, including Big Blue Marble Academy Hixson, Living Hope Lutheran Church, Stephen Temple Cumberland Presbyterian Church and Signal Mountain Middle/High School PTSA. Most take place in the car park of a church, school, library or community centre.
The most popular on AllEvents right now are Catoosa County Library Trunk or Treat (Sat, Oct 24), Oktoberfest Festival at Living Hope Lutheran Church (Sat, Oct 24) and Fall Festival (Sat, Oct 31).
Start times run from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Most begin around dusk, so the decorated trunks are lit when the children arrive, and last two or three hours.
A Halloween event where children go from car to car instead of door to door. Families park in one place โ usually a church, school or community car park โ open their boots, decorate them, and hand out candy from the back. It began at American churches in the 1990s as a safer, more contained alternative to trick-or-treating, and most now add a costume parade, games or a best-decorated-trunk contest.
Their costume, a treat bucket or bag, and something that glows โ a glow stick or a small torch โ because most events run after dark. Comfortable shoes help: a big car park is a lot of walking.
Pick a theme and fill the open boot with it. Monster mouths, pumpkin patches, haunted houses, outer space and under the sea are the favourites. Battery string lights matter most, since a car park has no sockets; then a backdrop, cobwebs or props, and a bowl of candy at the front edge.
Many are. Look for a teal pumpkin: it is the sign of a trunk handing out non-food treats such as glow sticks, stickers and small toys, part of the Teal Pumpkin Project for children with food allergies.
