Town of Stony Plain presents Walking Dead House Halloween Event in Support of the Parkland Food Bank. New addition for 2025 is a TRUNK OR TREAT!!!

The Walking Dead House is a much-loved Halloween event organized and hosted each year by the Town of Stony Plain. It has become a seasonal destination for families and Halloween enthusiasts alike. Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations to support Parkland Food Bank, making this spooky celebration a chance to give back to the community.

This year, Parkland Food Bank is thrilled to be assisting the Town of Stony Plain with an exciting new feature: a Trunk or Treat.

If you are new to the concept, a Trunk or Treat is a safe and fun alternative to traditional trick-or-treating. Families visit creatively decorated vehicles where local groups, businesses, and organizations hand out candy and treats from their themed trunks. Trunk or Treats have been a hit in other communities for years, and we are so excited to help bring this unique experience to Stony Plain.

We are inviting local organizations and businesses to join in the fun. Registration is completely free so that your budget goes entirely to candy and treats for the kids.
