trunk or treat
Tailgate costume event
Trunk or treat is a Halloween event where children collect candy from car trunks in a parking lot rather than going door to door.
Adults decorate their vehicles and gather in a central location—often a church, school, or community center—creating a contained, supervised alternative to traditional trick-or-treating: The elementary school is hosting trunk or treat this Saturday.
