What kids are wearing this year, and how to dress for an evening in a car park.

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 Peoria run from Oct 23 to Oct 31, 2026: 41 events. The busiest weekend is Oct 23 – Oct 25, with 28 events.
Yes: 28 events are on for Oct 23 – Oct 25, including 6th Annual Trunk or Treat with Core 3 and SVN Core 3, Trunk or Treat at Hy-Vee: 10/24 and Trunk or Treat at Hy-Vee: 10/24. Another 2 events are on nearby.
Yes: 2 of the 41 listed are free, including Harvest In Goshen Festival at Restoration Life Church and Fall Festival -- Trunk-or-Treat at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Most trunk or treats are free to walk into.
Yes: 4 more events are listed within reach of Peoria, in Hooppole, Springfield, Princeton and Petersburg. The soonest is October Fourth Friday - Trick or Treat Main Street/ Trunk or Treat in Hooppole, on Fri, Oct 23.
At 41 venues, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (2 dates), Little Oaks Childcare Center, New Millinia park and Restoration Life Church. Most take place in the car park of a church, school, library or community centre.
The most popular on AllEvents right now are Metamora Area Trunk or Treat at Metamora Village Square (Sat, Oct 24), Trunk or Treat at Hy-Vee: 10/24 (Sat, Oct 24) and Trunk-or-Treat with Green Top Grocery & Gingerbread House Toys (Thu, Oct 29).
Start times run from 5:00 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.
