Trunk or Treat is back, and it's bigger and spookier than ever! Get ready for an evening of Halloween fun at the City of Manvel’s annual Trunk or Treat on Friday, October 24, 2025, from 5 - 7 p.m. at Manvel City Hall, 20031 Morris Ave. Children are encouraged to come in their costumes!
The Manvel Fire Marshal’s Office will also host an art contest for school-aged children in honor of Fire Prevention Month, highlighting the importance of fire safety. The theme of the art contest will be Smoke Detectors Save Lives. Children will have the opportunity to showcase their creativity while learning safe holiday practices. The winning artist will be recognized at the event for helping spread an important safety message and will be recognized at a future City Council meeting.
Starting October 6, 2025, participants in grades K-5 are welcome to pick up a free coloring sheet at City Hall, 20031 Morris Ave, and participants in grades 6-12 can select a coloring sheet or pick up a free sheet of posterboard.
The winner of the contest will be announced at the event at 6 p.m. Entries are due by October 22, 2025, at City Hall, 20031 Morris Ave., and must include the participant’s name, age, and contact information on the back of the artwork to be considered.
In addition to trunk-or-treating and the art contest, the event will include:
Photo Booth: Capture memories with family and friends at the Halloween-themed photo booth.
Touch-A-Truck: This interactive experience allows children to see the vehicles and equipment used by our Public Works team up close and personal!
