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.
Events
We share a few of our personal tips for enjoying the Tampa tradition.
Make the most of this Gaspy season with a pirate-themed pup party, arts and crafts, and even a Tampa Bay cleanup.
This year’s offerings include the customary childrens’ parade, historical presentations, and bar crawls.
Honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with these local volunteer opportunities.
Start 2023 off with champagne toasts, live music, and countdown parties.
There’s a wintery escape for everyone this time of year. We highlighted our faves.
Local organizations, bakeries, and military spouses are giving back this holiday season, you can too.
That prediction is due, in large part, to the traffic boom at the Tampa Bay Convention Center.
