Trick-or-Treat & Trick-A-Trunk in Downtown Storrs

Calling all goblins, ghouls, and ghosts! Head to Downtown Storrs on Saturday, October 28 for free, Halloween fun!

The Mansfield Downtown Partnership invites children to dress in their Halloween best and Trick-or-Treat at participating Downtown Storrs businesses. Look for signs in the windows of participating businesses or preview the list of participants at downtownstorrs.org/halloween.

NEW this year: One stop, twice the fun: Mansfield Parks & Recreation will host their Annual Trick-A-Trunk along Wilbur Cross Way!

Local businesses, organizations, and residents will have decorated vehicles to enjoy while collecting treats from participating organizations. The deadline to sign up to participate in or sponsor Trick-A-Trunk is October 19. Learn more at mansfieldct.gov/halloween.

And that’s not all: The Town of Mansfield Public Works and Fire & Emergency Services Departments will have vehicles on display throughout Downtown Storrs. Children can get an up-close look at the vehicles and talk to the folks that operate them.
