Trunk or treat! Here's where kids can participate

This new twist on an old classic has taken off across the Twin Cities... each with its own take!

Trunk or treat! This version of the time-worn classic involves bringing the kids - and the car - to get goodies. 

Deck out your car trunk in spooky decor, and kids can wander to other cars in the parking lot to gather candy and compare costumes. All events are free. 

Minneapolis

For candy and a pumpkin patch, visit Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in south Minneapolis. On Oct. 29, church members and neighbors will decorate cars and park in the lot from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Free-will donations are accepted, not required. For more information, click here

Also, near Powderhorn Park, the Division of Indian Work is hosting a trunk or treat on Oct. 30. From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., they will host trick or treating and hot fall beverages in the upper parking lot. For more information, click here.

For teens, check out the Logan Recreation Center for a traditional house-to-house experience. For more information, click here
