Trunk-or-treats

A trunk-or-treat is a parking lot event where children collect candy from decorated car trunks; churches, schools and civic groups hold many across South Florida. We list Pembroke Pines trunk-or-treats once the organizer has published the date, time and place. Running one? Send the details through our contact page.

Safety

From the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Halloween food safety tips:

  • Feed children a light meal before they go out, and ask them to wait until they get home to eat any treats.
  • Eat only commercially wrapped treats. Check wrappers for pinholes, tears or discoloration, and throw away anything that looks wrong.
  • If your child has a food allergy, read the labels and skip home-baked treats.

Also:

  • Florida’s sexual offender and predator registry is searchable by address on the Florida Department of Law Enforcement site.
  • Pembroke Pines Police non-emergency: 954-431-2200. Emergencies: 911.
  • Halloween is a Saturday this year and daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. the next morning, Sunday, Nov. 1.
