Get ready for a sweet and spooky evening as the Dawn Busters Kiwanis Club of Metairie hosts its 5th annual Trunk or Treat event this coming Saturday. Taking place at Lafreniere Park near the carousel, families are invited to enjoy a night filled with trick-or-treating from the trunks of vehicles and free rides on the carousel from 6-9 p.m. on October 19. A festive gathering designed to delight and entertain, children can look forward to collecting candy in a safe and friendly environment, according to the Jefferson Parish.
Admission details are straightforward: children can join the fun for a $15 ticket fee at the gate, while adults are welcomed at no cost; the decision to make this event accessible for families comes as a joyful respite amidst the world that is often marked by expenses, a true marker of community involvement and according to the Jefferson Parish website, tickets will only be sold at the gate, an easily accessible entry point for an evening that brims with more treats than tricks. In a time when moments of togetherness are especially valuable, events like this serve as charming cornerstones for community bonding.
The carousel, a fixture of childhood nostalgia and joy, will light up the night—free for all the children in attendance. It adds a layer of enchantment to the Trunk or Treat experience, as kids roam from car to car, their little hands outstretched in expectation of the night's sugary bounty, as reported by the Jefferson Parish. Ensuring a well-organized event, the Dawn Busters Kiwanis Club of Metairie emphasizes the importance of providing safe, family-oriented activities.
