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 β and a flat car park suits children with allergies, wheelchairs and strollers too.
Trunk or treat events in Cumming run from Oct 17 to Oct 31, 2026: 54 events. The busiest weekend is Oct 23 β Oct 25, with 32 events.
Yes: 10 events are on for Oct 17 β Oct 18, including Mercyone East Village Community Trunk or Treat, Annual Trunk or Treat at McKinley School / Columbus Park Neighborhood Des Moines and Trot or Treat - Trunk or Treat Through the Horse Barn.
Yes: 4 of the 54 listed are free, including Mercyone East Village Community Trunk or Treat, Thrive Family Chiropractic Dye Free Trunk or Treat and Trunk or Treat at 2forU West!. Most trunk or treats are free to walk into.
Yes: 3 more events are listed within reach of Cumming, in Altoona, Newton and Des Moines. The soonest is Trick or Treat Around the Lake in Altoona, on Thu, Oct 22.
At 53 venues, including Mercyone East Village, McKinley School / Columbus Park Neighborhood Des Moines, Ankeny, Iowa and Ankeny Christian Church. Most take place in the car park of a church, school, library or community centre.
The most popular on AllEvents right now are Mercyone East Village Community Trunk or Treat (Sat, Oct 17), Trunk or Treat @ Ankeny High School (Thu, Oct 22) and 2026 Modern Custom Dreamz Trunk or Treat (Sat, Oct 24).
Start times run from 6:30 AM to 6:30 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 β usually a church, school or community car park β 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 β a glow stick or a small torch β 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.
