Trunk Or Treat

Greek Life

Community Fun in a Safe Environment

Trunk or Treat provides members of the Tyler community an alternative to traditional trick-or-treating in a fun and safe environment. 

Details

Date: Sunday, October 25, 2026

Time: 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm (or until all candy is gone, which ever is first)

Location: Parking Lots 2 & 4, near the Herrington Patriot Center and University Center.

This year, Trunk or Treat will be a walk through event! Volunteers will give out candy from the trunk of decorated cars and have fun games and activities for children to participate in. We will also have activities on Patriot Plaza. 

Parking can be found in Lots 6, 7, and 8 which are adjacent to the event. 

We partner with the UT Tyler University Academy who helps us with candy collection for the event.

Generally, we ask that all cars be registered and have no more than 4-5 people per carload. We will take as many cars as as have space, but organizations are allowed multiple vehicles. We also ask that cars bring 4-6 large bags of candy to start with and then we will supplement with what we have on hand. 

The event will end at 7 pm or when all candy has been given out, whichever happens first. 

To register a car for the event, please email gogreek@uttyler.edu.

Restrooms for the event will be located in the University Center
