Gamma Alpha Psi Fraternity will host its free community trunk or treat event — with approximately 40 participating organizations, food vendors, and community partners — in the Garden’s main parking area, adjacent to the Picnic Grove, on Sunday, Oct. 18, from 3-7 p.m. The event is open to all, with no ticket required.

For those who are interested in visiting the Garden as part of their trunk or treat experience on Oct. 19, costumed participants — including “spooky pooches” (AKA dogs in costume) — will receive a $5 discount on a general admission ticket(s) purchased on-site. Costumes should be family-friendly, and nothing with weapons – real or costume – please.

General admission tickets to the Garden — without the $5 in-costume discount — are $12/adult, $8/child/student/senior/military, and $5/dog.

The Garden offers free parking, on a first-come, first-served basis.
