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.
GhostOne sheet, two eye holes, done in ten minutes.
Pop-star demon hunterThis year's breakout, thanks to KPop Demon Hunters.DinosaurPlush and hooded: the warmest costume in the car park.Costume rankings: National Retail Federation, 2025 Halloween survey.
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 Nashville run from Oct 29 to Oct 31, 2026: 35 events.
Yes: 30 events are on for Oct 30 – Nov 1, including Trunk or Treat, Kinderland Halloween Event and Trunk or Treat at Toyota of Gallatin. Another 2 events are on nearby.

Yes: 2 more events are listed within reach of Nashville, in Bowling Green and Red Boiling Springs. The soonest is Trunk or Treat at 3H Farm's Market in Bowling Green, on Fri, Oct 30.
At 34 venues, including The Waters of Smyrna, Fair Havens Independent Baptist Church, Boys & Girls Club of Bedford County and Crest Honda. Most take place in the car park of a church, school, library or community centre.
The most popular on AllEvents right now are Demon Time 3 MTSU HALLOWEEN (Oct 31 – Nov 1), ROOTS Fall Fest 2026 at ROOTS Academy (Sat, Oct 31) and Caffeine and Chrome - Gateway Classic Cars of Nashville (Sat, Oct 31).
Start times run from 8:00 AM to 10:00 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.
