All October long, kids look foward to trick-or-treating on Halloween. But why wait until the last day of October? Families can visit several trunk-or-treat events happening all over Atlanta, starting mid-October and lasting through Halloween night. These Atlanta Halloween events offer a controlled environment where participating families and businesses decorate car trunks with a festive Halloween theme, then allow young kids to safely trick-or-treat at each car trunk and fill up their candy bags. Get it now? TRUNK-or-treat! 

While searching for the best trunk-or-treats near Atlanta, we found many are hosted by local municipalities and churches, where everyone is invited. A trunk-or-treat also gives parents more bang for their buck so they get more wears out of Halloween costumes. Speaking of bang for your buck, most of these events are free to attend!

Read on to find a Halloween trunk-or-treat in Atlanta close to you. And if you need more costume ideas, pumpkin carving tips, or fun pumpkin recipes, check out our Halloween Guide for Atlanta Families.
