After the costume parade, at 5:30pm Trunk or Treat will begin on Irving Street at the corner of Cherry Street and head toward Milton Ave. Residents are asked to bring their cars, decorate them in grand Halloween style and pop the trunk. As the parade arrives, children in costume will trunk-or-treat from car to car. Local businesses are welcome and encouraged to participate in this free, fun community event.
