Join us for Trunk Or Treat at Outer West!

Bring the whole family out on Friday, October 25th, from 5PM-7PM for an evening packed with fun, food, and candy! Stroll through our parking lot filled with creatively decorated trunks, some mini games, and more. Plus, kids can fill their bags with candy or small toys at each stop! Come hungry—food trucks will be onsite! And don’t forget to dress up in your favorite costume and make some sweet memories with us. We can’t wait to see you there!

We're also looking for Trunk Hosts to make our event special to members of the community who visit. Trunk Hosts decorate their vehicle trunk with friendly/fun decorations, games, face painting, costumes, etc. that engage children as they walk around our parking lot. Hosts give out candy or a small toy to kids as they stop at their trunk.
