Children's Take & Makes and Events
Trunk or Treat Vehicle Registration! 🚗
Our 2025 Trunk or Treat will be held on Sunday, October 19th in Denville’s Lower Bloomfield Avenue Parking Lot from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm, which includes time for setup and breakdown. We expect about 250 children to attend in staggered, ticketed intervals.
Right now we are only looking for individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to volunteer as “trunks.” Registration for children will open in mid-October.
