With fall arriving and Halloween just around the corner, families got an early start on the spooky season Monday evening during a special trunk-or-treat event along Erie\u2019s West Bayfront Parkway.<\/p>\n
The festivities were part of the final Gas \u2018N\u2019 Gears Cruise of the summer, which transformed the popular car show into a family-friendly Halloween celebration. The event got underway around 4 p.m. and continued through 8 p.m., drawing children and families eager to collect candy and admire the decorated vehicles.<\/p>\n
While the cruise is typically known for its lineup of classic cars, muscle cars, and custom vehicles, this year’s season finale featured a festive twist. Participants decked out their cars with Halloween-themed decorations, creating a colorful backdrop for trick-or-treating as youngsters made their way from vehicle to vehicle collecting treats.<\/p>\n
Organizers said the event is a fun way to wrap up the summer cruise season while bringing the community together for a celebration that appeals to all ages. The combination of eye-catching automobiles, creative decorations, and plenty of candy helped make the evening a memorable kickoff to the fall season.<\/p>\n
Although this year’s cruises have come to an end, organizers say the Gas \u2018N\u2019 Gears Cruise will return next summer for another season of cars, community, and family fun.<\/p>\n
