Trick or Trunk This Week in Oxford

The Parks and Rec event will be held Thursday at Oxford High School.

Oxford Parks and Recreation will once again host Trick or Trunk on Halloween night for children at Oxford High School. 

The following information comes from the Oxford Parks and Recreation Department's website.  

Park your car, open your decorated trunk, sit out on your lawn chairs and watch your child trick or treat from car-to-car while you hand out candy to all of the trick or treaters.

More Information
This is the biggest parking lot Parks and Rec can find, but they still run out of space, so people are asked to not come in multiple cars. Walk-ins are not allowed to attend.

The event is open to Oxford residents only due to the limited space available. Event organizers may ask for identification cards.

All children must be accompanied by an adult. No alcohol is allowed as this is a family event. 

CANCELLATION INFORMATION

Call the Parks & Recreation's cancellation line after 3 p.m. the day of the event for cancellation information. The number is 203-888-2543. Press 3 then 1.
