Casper hosts 12 Halloween events across the city this weekend

Twelve distinct Halloween events will take place across Casper this weekend, offering residents a structured alternative to traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating. The schedule spans Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31, with activities ranging from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Trunk or Treat events allow children to collect prizes from parked vehicles rather than walking through neighborhoods. These gatherings typically occur in daylight or well-lit areas, providing a controlled environment for families. The format gained popularity in the 1990s through church and community organizations. Parents often prefer these events for safety reasons, particularly for younger children.

The Natrona County Sheriff's Office and the Casper Police Department are hosting a joint Trunk or Treat party at the Hall of Justice this Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event covers the Natrona County Courthouse, Townsend Justice, and Sunrise Shopping Center. Wind City Kids will host a separate Trunk or Treat event from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the same location.

Three Crowns Golf Club will start its Trunk or Treat event at 6 p.m. on Friday. On Saturday, the Kids' Candy Crawl begins at the Tate Pumphouse from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The Downtown Casper Trick-or-Treat Trail starts at 10 a.m. The Citywide Car Club Trunk-or-Treat runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Joshua's Storehouse.

Banner Health will host an event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. Meals on Wheels and the Oil Capital Auto Club will hold a Trunk-or-Treat from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The Science Zone Trick-or-Treat Trail operates from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Hilltop Baptist Church hosts its event from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The Fire Department and EMS will host a haunted house on Saturday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Neighborhoods are expected to see traditional door-to-door activity on Halloween evening. Residents can visit these locations to let children blow off steam and collect candy as they celebrate the holiday weekend.
