How will the day play out?

Trunk-or-Treat is a unique twist on traditional trick-or-treat where kids go from car to car to get candy and play games. Businesses and community organizations decorate their vehicles in a Halloween theme and fill the trunk with special treats such as candy and other fun items. It's a lot of spooky fun and great exposure for your organization.

  • All participating organizations will enter the Zoo from the Augusta Street gate no later than 8AM on Saturday, October 27.

  • All vehicles will set up in a designated area on the north end of the Zoo.

  • Vehicles must be set up and decorated by 8:45AM.

  • Please bring enough candy (palm oil free or sustainable palm oil preferred) and/or prizes for 2,000 little ghosts and goblins.
