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 Jackson run from Oct 23 to Oct 31, 2026: 14 events. The busiest weekend is Oct 30 – Nov 1, with 11 events.
Yes: 2 of the 14 listed are free, including 4th Annual Read for a Treat: Trunk or Treat Event at Davis Road Park and Fields and KidStrong Madison County Trunk or Treat. Most trunk or treats are free to walk into.
Yes: 3 more events are listed within reach of Jackson, in Collins, Vicksburg and Wesson. The soonest is Treats in the Streets🎃🍬 in Collins, on Thu, Oct 22.
At 14 venues, including Chateau Pines Assisted Living, Clinton Community Nature Center, Gluckstadt Police Department and Davis Road Park and Fields. Most take place in the car park of a church, school, library or community centre.
The most popular on AllEvents right now are Nissan Canton Cars and Coffee (Sat, Oct 31), Pumpkin Glow and Reverse Scare at Clinton Community Nature Center (Fri, Oct 23) and KidStrong Madison County Trunk or Treat (Fri, Oct 30).
Start times run from 8:00 AM to 6:00 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.
