Searching for a New Jersey Trunk or Treat event near me? 

Let Jersey Family Fun help! We know many parents these days would prefer to take their kids trick or treating at a neighborhood Trunk or Treat or Halloween event rather than trick or treating around the neighborhood.

We get it and over the past few years we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the number of trunk or treat events around New Jersey. We decided to make it easier than ever to help our readers find Trunk or Treats in their New Jersey communities, by listing them all in one place.

Below you’ll find our listing of New Jersey Trunk or Treat events organized by region. For each one we’ll tell you the name of the event, the date, and the fee to attend. Most are free.

We encourage you to click the link for each trunk or treat event to find out more details such as the address, if registration is required, and if there’s an alternate date in the event of rain. Keep in mind too, that some trunk or treats might not charge a fee, but may require you participate by decorating a car or bringing candy.

5 Reasons Why Parents Love Trunk or Treat Events in New Jersey

  • Trick or Treating is limited to one location making it easier to keep track of our kids.
  • Trunk or Treats usually happen during daytime hours where it’s easier to see everything.
  • The treats can be better.
  • They don’t happen on Halloween, so families get an extra opportunity to trick or treat.
  • Some trunk or treats add an extra element of fun by happening at like a children museums or having live entertainment or even fireworks.
