Still on the hunt for a place to bring the kiddos to trick or treat tonight? We put together a map of Tampa Bay trick or treating hot spots.

But if none of those fit your fancy, there’s ample other free options across the bay.

  • Halloween Bash, 5-8 p.m., Giddens Park, 5202 N. 12th St., Tampa
    If you’re looking for an alternative to neighborhood trick or treating, this event offers a place for kids to grab candy and food, play games, and make crafts.
  • Trick or Treat at Armature Works, 12-2 p.m., Armature Works, 1910 N. Ola Ave., Tampa
    The Height’s Night Market vendor stalls will be decked out with their best Halloween decorations + passing out candy.
  • OktoberFest, 6-9 p.m., Thomas ‘Jet’ Jackson Park and Recreation Center, 1000 28th St. S., St. Petersburg
    The littles will love this event with bounce houses, a live DJ, candy, a costume contest, and more.
  • Halloween Trunk or Treat! | Mon., Oct. 31 | 5-6:30 p.m. | First Unity Spiritual Campus, 460 46th Ave. N., St. Petersburg
    Decorate that trunk to the nines for the “Best Trunk” contest, or take part in some pumpkin carving or face painting.
