Visitors to Holyoke Community College can expect to see the usual ghosts, witches, and ghouls, along with an assortment of characters from their favorite children’s movies, games, and TV shows as the college celebrates Halloween with its annual Trunk or Treat event.

Dozens of HCC departments, programs, and student clubs, as well as community groups and area businesses decorate vehicles every year for this event.

The event is free and open to the public and will be held outdoors, rain or shine. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Trunk or Treat runs from 5 to 7 p.m. in Parking Lot M by the Bartley Center for Athletics and Recreation on the main HCC campus, 303 Homestead Ave.
