Wartburg, TN - Grab your costumes and your candy buckets! The City of Wartburg invites families from across Morgan County to its annual Trunk or Treat on Saturday, October 31, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM, at the Courthouse Gazebo on Kingston Street.

Decorated trunks will line the historic courthouse lawn, giving little ghosts, superheroes and princesses a safe, friendly place to trick-or-treat right in the heart of downtown. It's a favorite Wartburg tradition and a great way to see neighbors and make some fall memories.

Event Details

When: Saturday, Oct. 31, 6:30-8:30 PM
Where: Courthouse Gazebo, Kingston Street, downtown Wartburg
Costume Contest: Open to kids ages 0-12. Registration begins at 5:15 PM at the gazebo.

Calling All Trunks and Vendors

All vendors are welcome to join in the fun. To help kids with food allergies enjoy the night too, vendors offering non-candy treats are asked to display a teal pumpkin. Families can look for the teal pumpkins to find allergy-friendly goodies like stickers, glow sticks and small toys.

Bring the whole family, snap some photos with the courthouse in the background and enjoy a fun, safe Halloween night in Wartburg.
