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. 19, from 3-7 p.m. The event is open to all, with no ticket required.

Activities:

  • Photo Booth
  • Face Painting
  • Pumpkin Carving
  • Games & Scavenger Hunt

 

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.

The Garden will also be offering the Garden-to-Go make-and-take event (at an additional charge) from 2-5 p.m. and hosting a curated marketplace of local vendors.

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.
