Trunk-or-treating

Trunk-or-treating is a form of Halloween tradition which often serves as an alternative to trick-or-treating in the United States and Canada.

Beginning in the 1990s, it usually involves candy or other treats being handed out of or taken from the trunks of vehicles, typically on Halloween night, although this tradition is also held in the days preceding the annual celebration on October 31.

[5] The etiquette of trunk-or-treating has led to the tradition also being called "Halloween tailgating", after the practice of handing out or serving candy from the trunks of vehicles.

[6][7] Trunk-or-treating has become increasingly popular in the 21st century since originating from Center Point, Alabama, where the first such event was initially held.

[10] Trunk-or-treat locations vary, although they are often held at churches or schools, in large parking lots, or at car dealerships.
