Spooktacular Fun at Shreveport’s Annual Trunk or Treat
Shreveport, Louisiana, came alive with excitement on Halloween night! Residents of all ages gathered at the Cargill Sports Complex for the highly anticipated annual Trunk or Treat event, hosted by the Shreveport Public Assembly & Recreation (SPAR). The event ran from 5 to 7 p.m., and it was everything we hoped it would be and more!
All Treats, No Tricks
As twilight descended, families poured into the complex, ready for an evening filled with laughter, delicious treats, and delightful surprises. The atmosphere buzzed with the sounds of kids giggling and chatting, all clad in their most creative and colorful costumes. You could spot everything from superheroes to ghosts, witches, and even a few beloved cartoon characters!
One of the most exciting aspects of the event was the rows of cars, each transformed into a spooky display of Halloween décor. Local businesses went all out, showcasing their creative talents by decorating their trunks with a variety of themes, ranging from haunted houses to playful pumpkin patches. It was truly a visual feast that added to the festive spirit of the night.
Trick or Treat, But Make It Unique
As families made their way from car to car, they were met with an abundance of candy and treats. The local businesses had outdone themselves, providing everyone with enough sweets to last well past Halloween. Kids eagerly filled their bags with colorful candies and snacks, their faces lighting up with each piece they collected. You could hardly find a kid without a big grin on their face, and who could blame them with such a treasure trove of goodies within arm’s reach!
A Community Celebration
But the event was more than just candy and costumes. It was a joyful celebration of community and togetherness. Neighbors caught up with each other while children gleefully dashed from trunk to trunk. It was heartwarming to see families enjoying the evening as they shared in the spirit of Halloween, gathering to celebrate this spooky season.
The joy of this event was palpable, as both adults and kids found themselves captivated by the array of activities available. From festive games to fun photo opportunities, there was something for everyone. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, lively chatter, and the unmistakable feeling of community connection.

Guests left with heaps of candy, warm hearts, and the promise of looking forward to next year’s edition. The event not only provided a safe and fun environment for Halloween festivities but also reminded everyone of the joy of gathering together as a community.
