Middlesex Community College is excited to host the first-ever Trunk of Treat. The event will take place from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the college’s Bedford Campus on Saturday, October 26. Proceeds will go toward the Middlesex Community College Foundation to raise funds for student scholarships.
“Our goal is to build bonds and establish a community of belonging within MCC and the greater community,” said Kayla Caron, MCC’s Registrar and Interim Dean of Enrollment. “Since before the pandemic, this is the first event of its kind where we can pull everyone together and celebrate in this way. Trunk or Treat is a great opportunity to get into the holiday spirit, have fun, eat candy, and raise money for an excellent cause.”
Trunk or Treat is an alternative version of trick-or-treating, according to Caron. Participants decorate the trunks of their vehicles in celebration of Halloween. Children and families can then walk car-to-car to collect candy and greet community members.

MCC’s version of the event will also feature games, food trucks, a trunk decoration contest, and more.
The event will take place in MCC’s Bedford Quad and Parking Lot D at 591 Springs Road. Students, employees and their families can participate for free with an MCC ID. Community members can pay $10 per car load to trick or treat or $25 to participate in the decorated car contest and hand out candy.
“MCC’s suburban campus in Bedford is especially beautiful this time of year and provides the perfect backdrop to get into the Halloween spirit,” Caron said. “Join us for a ‘spooktacular’ good time!”
