Trunk Or Treat Returns This Halloween To Chester Township

CHESTER, NJ — Trunk or Treat will once again take place this year as a Halloween celebration, continuing a yearly tradition in Chester.

Trunk or Treat will take place on Oct. 22 from 4 p.m. until 6:15 p.m. at Chubb Park, with the costume parade beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Trunk-or-treating is a simple concept. Instead of going from house to house, children collect candy from festively decorated vehicles. It's often regarded as a safer alternative to trick-or-treating, and its popularity has grown across the country in recent years.

The township has called on residents, organizations and businesses to attend with decorated vehicles and help make the event a success for the children.

To distribute candy, registration is required, and all registered guests must bring a bag of factory-sealed candy in a factory-sealed bag.

The best-decorated trunks and the best costumes for kids, adults and pets will all be eligible for prizes, according to the event's organizers.

There will be a $5 registration fee for those who wish to register their vehicle for the Halloween event. To sign up, click here.
