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 โ and a flat car park suits children with allergies, wheelchairs and strollers too.
Trunk or treat events in Waco run from Oct 15 to Oct 31, 2026: 32 events. The busiest weekend is Oct 30 โ Nov 1, with 17 events.
Yes: 2 events are on for Oct 16 โ Oct 18, including 2nd Annual Family Day Truck or Treat and ๐ 2nd Annual Trunk or Treat! ๐ป๐ฌ. Another 1 event is on nearby.

Yes: 6 more events are listed within reach of Waco, in Temple, Copperas Cove, Killeen and Harker Heights. The soonest is Carlson Cares Trunk or Treat in Temple, TX ๐๐ in Temple, on Sat, Oct 17.
At 32 venues, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (2 dates), Rodeo Dental & Orthodontics of Waco, E. Franklin St. and The Yard - Downtown Hillsboro and Park Road 1, Woodway, TX 76712, United States. Most take place in the car park of a church, school, library or community centre.
The most popular on AllEvents right now are Halloween in Hillsboro 2026 at E. Franklin St. and The Yard - Downtown Hillsboro (Sat, Oct 24), Suspects Annual Trunk or Treat at Waco, TX (Sat, Oct 24) and Cops & Kids Halloween Drive-Thru at Park Road 1, Woodway, TX 76712, United States (Sat, Oct 24).
Start times run from 9:00 AM to 8:30 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 โ usually a church, school or community car park โ 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 โ a glow stick or a small torch โ 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.
