Rochester MN Trunk or Treat Events 2026: Dates and Times

I don't remember ever going to a Trunk or Treat event as a kid, but these events have really taken off in popularity! Turns out, they started in the early 90s but really became popular in the 2000s. And it seems to have stuck ever since!

There are now tons of Trunk or Treat events that happen during spooky season, typically the weekend before Halloween.

I think Trunk or Treat events are especially great for young kids. It's during the day, they aren't running around the neighborhood when they're too little, but they still get to enjoy decorated cars and load up on candy.

So I gathered a list of Trunk or Treat events happening in Rochester for 2026. Nearly all of them are the weekend before Halloween, but there's one on Halloween if you'd like to celebrate the day of.
