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.

WitchThe hat does most of the work. Add a broom for the photos.
GhostOne sheet, two eye holes, done in ten minutes.

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 — and a flat car park suits children with allergies, wheelchairs and strollers too.
Trunk or treat events in District Heights run from Oct 29 to Nov 1, 2026: 91 events.
Yes: 86 events are on for Oct 30 – Nov 1, including Spooktacular Fall Festival 2026 at Celebree School of Canton, FREE Playgroup--Stroll or Treat at Springfield Town Center (6500 Springfield Mall, Springfield, VA) and Trunk or Treat at The Learning Experience - Ashburn. Another 7 events are on nearby.
Yes: 35 of the 91 listed are free, including Trunk or Treat at Barcroft | Truco o Trato en Barcroft, Security Battalion Trunk or Treat at Lejeune Hall and Neighborhood Trunk or Treat. The ticketed ones run from $5.04 to $690.60.
Yes: 7 more events are listed within reach of District Heights, in Washington, Owings Mills, Reisterstown and Baltimore and more. The soonest is Washington DC Halloween Bar Crawl in Washington, on Fri, Oct 30.
At 90 venues, including XCAL Shooting Sports and Fitness (2 dates), Lejeune Hall, South River High and Celebree School of Canton. Most take place in the car park of a church, school, library or community centre.
The most popular on AllEvents right now are Sweet Tooth Costume Carnival 2026 at St John Baptist Church (Sat, Oct 31), Trunk or Treat Vendors & Food Trucks (Sat, Oct 31) and 5th Annual community Trunk or Treat Car Show at XCAL Shooting Sports and Fitness (Sat, Oct 31).
Start times run from 3:45 AM to 9:00 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 — usually a church, school or community car park — 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 — a glow stick or a small torch — 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.
