Hey, Maine Trunk-or-Treaters!

With the spooky season well underway, there are lots of Halloween events popping up over the next several days, and this is one you won’t want to miss!

If you’ve never experienced trunk-or-treating, it’s a fun twist on traditional trick-or-treating. Instead of going door-to-door, families gather in a parking lot where creatively decorated car trunks become the stops for collecting candy. It’s festive, family-friendly, and a great way to celebrate Halloween together!

Touch-A-Truck & Treat is coming to Parking Lot E at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor on Friday, October 30, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Lots of local businesses and organizations will be participating, giving kids the chance to get up close with a variety of vehicles. Little ones can touch, climb into, honk, and check out the trucks and other vehicles while enjoying a Halloween celebration that’s a little different from the usual neighborhood trick-or-treating.

Of course, no Halloween event would be complete without goodies! Candy, treats, giveaways, stickers, and other fun swag will be available for kids of all ages. Costumes are encouraged, so bring your little ghosts, goblins, superheroes, princesses, and everything in between!

Best of all, this is a FREE community event designed to give families a safe, fun place to celebrate Halloween. It’s a great opportunity to get the kids out of the house, enjoy some community spirit, and make a few spooky-season memories along the way.

So gather the family, put on those costumes, and head to Bangor for an evening of Halloween fun!

Touch-A-Truck & Treat is sponsored by Bangor Parks & Recreation.
