Sedona AZ (October 19, 2021) – Join the city of Sedona Parks and Recreation Department for a spooktacular Trunk or Treat event at Posse Grounds Park on Oct. 31, 2021 from 5 to 7 p.m. where many of Sedona’s businesses and organizations will be hosting decked out vehicle trunks, while donning their best costumes and passing out candy. Children trick-or-treat by going from car trunk to car trunk to fill their bags with goodies.
Usually there is a large-scale event in Uptown Sedona but in a survey of merchants, a majority expressed concern over the COVID-19 Delta variant and the high number of youth cases, resulting in a decision to postpone the Uptown event until next year. The city and merchants wanted to provide an alternative, in which both the community and businesses still had the opportunity to partake in Halloween fun, hence why the Trunk or Treat at Posse Grounds Park will fill the void, allowing families to enjoy safe trick-or-treating in a festive, open and outdoor venue.
“We are so thankful for the businesses and organizations who have sponsored the Trunk or Treat event like Arizona Water Company and APS, or who have signed up to host a trunk, making this family event possible. It takes the community coming together during these difficult times, to think of safe alternatives so we can still gather for special occasions and holidays. The annual Uptown trick-or-treating will be missed this year, but we’re still going to have a great event for kids and families to attend,” said Dawn Norman, parks and recreation manager, city of Sedona.
