With a focus on family friendly events that connect the community, the Town of Queen Creek will no longer produce Trunk or Treat.
Last year, the event drew 20,000+ attendees and spanned more than a quarter of a mile with? a wide range of activities, making it difficult for friends and neighbors to meet up and socialize. As the Town Center continues to develop, parking options north of Ocotillo Road are becoming more and more limited. In addition, the size and scope of the event required a two-day closure of Ellsworth Road to safely set up and take down. The extended closure resulted in increased traffic congestion in the heart of the community. The event itself was also becoming increasingly expensive to produce - even with scaling back activities and reducing the amount of candy, the event was projected to exceed budgetary constraints for 2024.?
Thanks to everyone who has made Trunk or Treat possible – from sponsors, vendors, community groups and residents. For more information regarding the announcement, please visit
As the Town continues to focus on community events that provide an opportunity for residents to engage and connect, the Town is excited to announce that the Queen Creek Hometown Christmas Parade will transition from a Chamber of Commerce event to a Town event in 2024 - stay tuned for more details.
