Trunk or Treat at Have A Gay Day is an alternative to traditional trick or treat for Halloween. It is a Halloween tailgate party where parents and guardians gather their vehicles in one spot, typically a parking lot, open their trunks and give out candy as children walk from car to car. Some candy-givers decorate their trunks with scenes and themes, such as pumpkin patches, spiderwebs and monsters.
The best trunk-or-treat displays feature a fun game or other interactive element, such as a carnival-style game (throwing beanbags into a monster’s mouth), an easy craft, or even a basic Halloween thrill like the “touch-and-feel” Halloween creepy items (i.e. peeled grapes as eyeballs).
To really up your game, play music that suits your theme (use a bluetooth speaker so you don’t have to drain your car battery), create a tactile experience by having them reach through creepy faux cobwebs for their treat, or even waft a scent through your car (think apple-cinnamon for a fall bounty-themed car).
