Be a part of one of Dedham’s most beloved fall traditions — and a fantastic opportunity to showcase your business! At Trunk or Treat, children and families “trick or treat” from cars and trunks creatively decorated by local businesses and non-profits like yours. THIS IS A NON-SELLING EVENT.
This free, family-friendly celebration draws thousands of visitors from Dedham and surrounding towns. Along with the decorated trunks, guests enjoy free face painting, games, music, dancing, a selfie station, and a giant inflatable corn maze — all in a festive, high-energy atmosphere.
By participating as a “trunker,” you’ll:
- Reach thousands of children and adults in a single afternoon
- Promote your business by handing out treats, goodies, and marketing materials (plan for at least 1,500 treats for the kids) No Selling
- Show off your creativity by decking out your vehicle in a fun, eye-catching theme
Connect with the community, build brand visibility, and have a blast while doing it!
