Trunk or Treat Events in Rhode Island

Trunk or Treat.

We love how popular this tradition has become. Around here, our kids start itching to get their costumes on and start stockpiling candy somewhere around the second week of October. And let’s be honest – those (rare) years where I’m struck with pinspiration and craft an adorable costume for one of the kids I’m also dying to parade them around in it as much as possible. So we’ve rounded up as many local trunk or treat events as possible so you can squeeze as much fun as possible out of October. Looking for more Halloween Events? Check out this list of other local events for the littlest Rhody residents.

*Be sure to double check the event page for updates or cancellations before heading out to any of these events. This list was up to date at publication, but things can change and we’d be heartbroken if any last minute changes resulted in devastated kids.*

Tracy Slater
Tracy was born and raised in Southeastern Massachusetts and currently resides about 15 minutes outside of Providence with her husband and their three children, Max (2012), Ryder (2014), and Lily (2017). As a mother, she has dabbled in various parenting philosophies, and after attempting everything from free range to helicopter, she's landed squarely in the camp of "I'll do whatever it takes to make the noise stop." In all seriousness, Tracy believes that the key to happily surviving parenthood is grace. Whenever possible it should be given generously to our children, our spouses, and especially ourselves. Tracy has spent her career working with mothers and children in various capacities. She has a private therapy practice, is an Infant Massage Instructor, and works in Early Intervention. She has learned that one of things that children need most is well supported parents, and she believes that the candid sharing of stories and experiences is an important way of supporting parents. When she's not at work, Tracy spends her days trying to get outside, writing, and searching for her patience at the bottom of a (reheated) cup of coffee. She is an avid runner, and she loves to cook, obsessively organize, and drink wine.
