Trunk or Treats
Trunk-or-treats are a fun and safe way for kids to load up on candy while families enjoy community spirit. Across Kankakee County, schools, churches, businesses, and organizations decorate cars and hand out treats, creating festive mini-Halloweens before the big night. With events happening throughout October, there’s a trunk-or-treat for everyone to enjoy.
