How a Trunk-or-Treat works
Think Halloween night, squeezed into one parking lot on a Sunday afternoon. No dark streets, no long walks between houses, and every stop is a decorated car trunk run by a local business.

Where every dollar goes
Go-Go covers the costs. The Chalmers Foundation gets the ticket money, all of it, for pediatric care at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital and the Stan Cassidy Centre for Rehabilitation.
This year's goal is $13,000 for pediatric projects at the DECRH. That's roughly 870 kids in costumes, which, going by past years, is entirely doable.
How many little monsters are you bringing?
2 kids = $30 to kids' care at the Chalmers

Decorate your car, bring treats for a few hundred kids, and meet half of Fredericton's families in one afternoon.
Questions from the back seat
Do adults need a ticket?
No. Tickets are $15 per child. Parents and caregivers walk the loop for free, though we'd love to see you in costume too.
What does "staggered entry" mean?
When you buy, you pick an arrival window between noon and 3:30 PM. It keeps the lines short and the trunks stocked, so every kid gets the full experience.
What if it rains?
The event runs rain or shine. Many trunks set up tents and canopies, and a bit of drizzle has never slowed down a kid on a candy mission. Dress for the weather.
What ages is it for?
Anyone young enough to be thrilled by candy from a stranger's trunk. Toddlers in strollers through to preteens are the sweet spot, and the loop is fully stroller and wagon friendly.
Is there parking?
Yes, on site at Knowledge Park. Follow the volunteers' directions when you arrive and leave a few extra minutes at busy entry times.
Can I get a refund?
All sales are final, and no exchanges, since 100% of the proceeds go straight to the Chalmers Foundation. If your plans change, pass the ticket along to another family.
Where do I buy tickets?
Online only, through Eventbrite. They tend to go fast, so don't wait until the week of.
