Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
One of South Florida's most spirited Halloween traditions is back. BrightStar Credit Union hosts its Annual Trunk-or-Treat Celebration on Friday, October 23 — a free, family-friendly event that turns the parking lot into a Halloween village of elaborately decorated trunks, creative costumes, and enough candy to fuel the rest of the season.
The Trunk-or-Treat format has become a beloved alternative to traditional trick-or-treating, and BrightStar's version is one of the most enthusiastically decorated in the area. Participants go all-in on their themes — past years have featured everything from haunted mansions to full movie recreations — and the community energy that fills the lot makes it as much a block party as a Halloween event.
It's the kind of event that reminds you what October in South Florida can feel like when a community actually shows up for each other — costumes on, candy in hand, and a giant inflatable T-Rex watching over the whole thing.
The BrightStar Annual Trunk-or-Treat Celebration takes place on Friday, October 23 . Follow BrightStar Credit Union on social media for location details, start time, and any registration information. The event is free and open to the community — costumes strongly encouraged.
