Historic Oakland and Columbia Town Center are excited to unite the community for this year’s Trunk-or-Treat at the Manor.
While walking around Columbia Town Center, you notice a chill in the air, the nights are getting longer, and pumpkins are popping up around the neighborhood. This could only mean one thing: Halloween is right around the corner! Historic Oakland and Columbia Town Center are excited to unite the community for this year’s Trunk-or-Treat at the Manor. This family-friendly event will be Friday, October 27th, from 6 -7:30 PM.
What is a “Trunk or Treat”?
A “Trunk or Treat” event is where participants decorate the trunks of their cars for Halloween and park in a designated area. Children then go from car to car to collect candy and other treats.
This setup ensures a safe and controlled environment for children to collect Halloween treats and fosters community and camaraderie among neighbors.
