Prepare for a spooky good time at the Trunk or Treat event at Mahany Fitness Center in Roseville, California! This Halloween extravaganza will occur on Friday, October 18, 2024, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM. It’s the perfect way to kick off your Halloween festivities and score some sweet treats before the witching hour.

What’s the Big Deal?

As Fall-o-ween Fun in Roseville goes, Trunk or Treat is like trick-or-treating on steroids. Instead of trudging from house to house in the dark, kids can safely stroll from car to car in a well-lit parking lot. Each vehicle’s trunk is decked out in spooky, silly, or bizarre decorations, creating a mini Halloween wonderland. It’s like a costume party for cars!

There’s more! This isn’t just any old Trunk or Treat event. The folks at Mahany Fitness Center have gone all out to ensure you have a frighteningly good time.

The Pre-Party: Because Why Not?

If you’re the type who likes to show up fashionably early, you’re in luck. There’s a pre-party from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Think of it as the appetizer before the main course of candy. You can expect:

• Halloween-themed crafts (because who doesn’t want another paper ghost to hang on the fridge?)
• Games (hopefully not bobbing for apples – that’s so 1990)
• Treats (because you can never have too much sugar on Halloween)

It’s the perfect way to warm up your trick-or-treating muscles before the main event.

The Main Event: Trunk or Treat

At 5:30 PM, the parking lot transforms into a candy lover’s paradise. Here’s what you can expect:

• Creatively Decorated Car Trunks: Imagine your neighbor’s minivan turned into a pirate ship or a soccer mom’s SUV transformed into a haunted house. The possibilities are endless!
• Costume Parade: Dress up in your spookiest, silliest, or most creative costume. It’s your chance to show off that DIY Zombie Teletubby outfit you’ve worked on all year.
• Safe Environment: There is no need to worry about dark streets or stranger danger. This event is all about providing a safe and fun Halloween experience for kids and families.
• Plenty of Treats: Bring a big bag because you’ll need it. Just remember to save some room for dinner—or don’t. We won’t judge.

Location, Location, Location

The Trunk or Treat event is at the Mahany Fitness Center, 1545 Pleasant Grove Blvd, Roseville, CA 95747. It’s easy to find—just follow the trail of excited kids in costumes.

But Wait, There’s More!

As if Trunk or Treat wasn’t enough, the fun doesn’t stop when the candy runs out. Stick around for Friday Flicks, featuring the movie “Goosebumps.” Nothing says Halloween like a family-friendly scary movie, right?

The movie starts at 7:00 PM, giving you enough time to sort through your candy haul and trade with your friends. And if you’re still hungry (how?), there’s a new concession stand with an assortment of snacks and goodies. Just don’t blame us if you end up with a sugar-induced nightmare about R.L. Stine’s monsters coming to life.

Tips for a Spooktacular Time

1. Arrive Early: The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the best parking spot and first dibs on candy.
2. Bring a Flashlight: It might help read those “Take One” signs on candy bowls that you’re definitely going to obey.
3. Wear Comfortable Shoes: You’ll often walk from trunk to trunk. Leave the high heels for another night unless they’re part of your costume.
4. Don’t Forget Your Camera: You’ll want to capture all the creative trunk decorations and costumes for your Instagram story.
5. Bring Cash: Just in case there are any food trucks or vendors. You never know when you might need an emergency funnel cake.

The Trunk or Treat event at Mahany Fitness Center is shaping up to be the Halloween highlight of Roseville. It’s got everything: candy, costumes, crafts, and a movie. It’s like Halloween threw up all over a parking lot but in a good way.

Dust off your costume, practice your best “trick or treat” voice, and prepare for a spooky, fun night. Just remember, no matter how old you are, it’s never okay to be the person who takes all the candy from the “Please Take One” bowl. Don’t be that guy.

See you there, ghouls and boys!
