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 Wausau run from Oct 27 to Oct 31, 2026: 17 events.
Yes: 9 events are on for Oct 30 – Nov 1, including KSB Halloween Party!, St. John's Parish Annual Halloween Celebration- Now including a 5K and Grace UCC Trunk or Treat at Grace United Church Of Christ. Another 3 events are on nearby.
Yes: 5 more events are listed within reach of Wausau, in Appleton, Seymour and New London. The soonest is Trunk or Treat 2026 in Appleton, on Tue, Oct 27.
At 17 venues, including Central Wisconsin Country Store - Allied Cooperative, Grace United Church Of Christ and Birnamwood Elementary. Most take place in the car park of a church, school, library or community centre.
The most popular on AllEvents right now are 4th Annual CFR Trunk R Treat Extravaganza (Wed, Oct 28), KSB Halloween Party! (Sat, Oct 31) and TRUNK or TREAT! (Sat, Oct 31).
Start times run from 10:00 AM to 5:00 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.
