Calling all Denver families and fans of frightful fun, the Mile High Trunk or Treat event is set to unfold at Empower Field at Mile High. Scheduled for Friday, October 25, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., the celebration is free to the public and packed with over 100 creatively decked-out trunks. As Halloween beckons, youngsters can safely gather treats, partake in pumpkin decorating, and even show off their costume creations. Hosted by the Denver Police Department (DPD) in collaboration with the Far East Center, Denver Police Foundation, and other community partners, the evening is designed to be not only entertaining but also a bridge to better officer-citizen relations.
The night’s festivities are not just about the candy haul, the event amps up the excitement with a costume contest scheduled at 7:30 p.m., where the best costumes will be recognized. Denver officials, including Mayor Mike Johnston and Councilwoman Jamie Torres, will also deliver speeches at 6:00 p.m., according to the Denver Police Department (DPD). The location for this Halloween extravaganza is 1701 Bryant Street, Lot C, providing a central and recognizable spot for festivities.
A key aspect of the Mile High Trunk or Treat is its emphasis on safety. Denver Police presence will be noticeable as they engage with families and make it their duty to provide Halloween safety tips. This event comes in as a part of a concerted effort to enhance the dynamics between the community and law enforcement, a partnership that the DPD and its affiliates are fostering gently but firmly.
Interested parties looking for more information or seeking to volunteer can connect by visiting the Denver Police Foundation's website. And let’s not forget, there will also be food vendors and dance parties, ensuring that this Halloween event will cater to a wide range of preferences and tastes. Families are encouraged to arrive decked in their best costumes, ready not just to trick-or-treat but also to enjoy a variety of Halloween-themed activities.
The Denver Police Foundation, as detailed on their site, proactively supports local law enforcement and their families, making strides in community engagement through these and other events. The Far East Center, dedicated to promoting cultural exchange, continues to stand as a testament to the diversity and communal harmony that Denver celebrates.
