Trunk or Treat Display Vehicle & Vendor Guidelines

TRUNK OR TREAT REGISTRATION CLOSED FOR 2025.

Join the downtown Community as we celebrate Halloween in big fashion! Trunk-or-Treat is an element of Halloween Howl to individuals and businesses that would like to participate, but do not have a storefront in the downtown area.

All trunks are welcome! But, due to limited space, we ask that all interested participants complete the registration prior to Friday, October 17. Vehicle owners do not need to come in a costume (although it is strongly encouraged), However, all vehicles MUST be decorated.

Please Review the Following Guidelines:

• To help support Intown Concord further its mission and provide FREE events to the downtown community, we are requiring a nominal registration fee for participation.
• All participants must provide their own pre-packaged treats for distribution. (treats don’t have to be candy, they can be stickers, pencils, glow sticks, etc.—Be Creative!
•  Decorate your trunk/vehicle: Displays can be as simple or as elaborate as you would like. We will be having a “Best Dressed” trunk contest for all participating vehicles.
• Please be courteous to your trunk neighbor and keep decorations confined to you designated parking space(s).
• Entertainment will be provided by a DJ, so, no amplified music will be permitted.—light Halloween-themed mu-sic is accepted (no profanity or vulgar language will be tolerated).
• Display vehicles must be turned off for the duration of the event.
• Electricity is not provided.
• The selling of any item is prohibited, unless you are a registered food vendor with prior approval and all applications with the City of Concord are completed.
• All vehicles will be assigned an entry number at check-in. Entry numbers must be placed on the right uppermost visible location to ensure People’s Choice voters can identify your vehicles.
• Participants may arrive on site by 4 pm to park and set up. The event will begin at 5:30 pm.
• Vehicles will not be permitted to move or leave the event grounds until the conclusion of the event at 7:30 pm.
