Churches throughout the Inland Empire host free or low-cost harvest festivals and trunk-or-treat nights in late October. These family-friendly events feature decorated car trunks handing out candy, games, bounce houses, free food, and community fellowship — a safe alternative to door-to-door trick-or-treating.
