Maple Grove Hosts Free Trunk Or Treat Event: Costumes, Contests, And Candy Await

Maple Grove residents, get ready to grab your candy baskets and don your creative costumes.

The City of Maple Grove has announced a community event that promises to mix the spooky with the sweet.

The city's official social media page declared, “Get ready for a ghostly good time!” inviting folks to the upcoming Trunk or Treat event.

This free public affair is scheduled for Saturday, October 26, offering a mix of activities, a costume contest, and, of course, free treats.

The celebration is set to occur in the new location of the vacant grass lot on the southwest corner of Weaver Lake Road and Main Street.

The address is pinpointed at 12500 82nd Avenue, a spacious site chosen to host the expected crowd of ghostly apparitions and fairy-tale characters - or at least the local children dressed as such.

The event is to cleanly spread out between the hours of 1 and 4 p.m., with the goal being to cater to as many treat-seekers as possible.

A festive spirit is supposed to thoroughly sweep through this Trunk or Treat event, encapsulated not merely in the cling of candy wrappers but in the shared smiles of a community gathering.

Parents and children alike are set to engage in a variety of activities, showing off their creativity in the costume contest that, in prior years, has been a highlight of the occasion.

While no detail on the judging criteria or prizes has been publicly released, the anticipation to see this year's display of homemade and store-bought disguises only builds.

For those looking to join in on the fun, the event remains entirely open to the public and is designed to be a safe, family-oriented means to enjoy the Halloween season. To broadly spread the word and ensure a strong turnout, the City of Maple Grove encourages participants to genuinely share the invitation: "Don’t miss out—bring your friends and family for an afternoon to celebrate the season of tricks and treats!" All the details are accessible via their Facebook post, ensuring potential attendees have full information at their fingertips.
