Rock Creek Park is preparing to host its sixth annual Trunk or Treat event on Halloween.

The event will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 31.

The purpose of the event is to provide children in the community a safe place to trick-or-treat, including a well-lit area with plenty of parking, restrooms and easy access.

Park officials will designate a specific area in the park for the event, which will be sectioned off from vehicle traffic.

Admission is free and so are most of the activities, including carnival games, a bouncy house, hay rides, face painting and more.

Concessions will be available for purchase.

Sorry, no pets (service animals only, please).

There will also be many other safe events within the community leading up to Halloween:
