Metro Phoenix is hosting numerous Halloween and trunk-or-treat events throughout October.
Many events are free and family-friendly, featuring costume contests, games, and live entertainment.
Halloween may fall on a Friday this year, but who really wants to wait that long for costumes and candy?
Luckily, the Valley is packed with trunk-or-treating events to get the spooky fun started early. If you’re new to tradition, trunk-or-treat is basically a candy crawl where families decorate their car trunks, line them up in the parking lot, and kids go from trunk to trunk collecting sweets. It’s like trick-or-treating but with shorter walking distances.
