The best part of Fall in El Paso is the fact that there is always an event going on in the city, and during Halloween that proves to be very true!
With Halloween just a few weeks away, families across the Borderland are going to be looking for family friendly events to do with their little ones. For parents of young kids, Trunk-or-Treat events are always a popular thing to do, especially for parents with little ones who might be too young to walk long distances on Halloween night or children who feel nervous about traditional trick-or-treating.
Trunk-or-treat events typically bring families together in a designated parking lot, where people decorate their vehicles with Halloween themes and hand out candy from their trunks. Some events also feature music, food vendors, games, prizes and costume contests, making them a festive outing for the whole family, and El Paso has plenty of those going on these next few weekends!
