Trunk 'N Treat returns to Main Street

Luverne’s popular Trunk ’N Treat returns to Main Street for 2021 after the 2020 pandemic drive-through “Street of Treats” at the school campus.
Because Halloween falls on a Sunday this year, the event will be on Monday, Nov. 1, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Main Street.
The event typically draws hundreds of costumed children and parents downtown where businesses and organizations set up elaborate Halloween displays and hand out candy.
In 2019, the Luverne Chamber estimates more than 1,000 little “ghosts, goblins and super-heroes” participated.
This year will likely be no different as Main Street will be closed off for dozens of businesses and organizations that signed up to host Trunk ’N Treat displays.
“It is a great event to see the excitement on the faces of children,” said Luverne Chamber Director Jane Wildung Lanphere.
This year will be the ninth year the Chamber has hosted a Trunk ’N Treat in Luverne. Prizes are awarded in several categories for the best displays.
Friday was the deadline to sign up for a display, but for those who want to support it, donations can be made to the Chamber to buy and distribute candy.
All businesses, individuals and organizations were invited to participate, and there was no registration fee.
If weather is bad, it will be moved to the elementary school commons. A decision will be made by noon Monday and announced by radio and social media.
