Some dates and times are listed here for various trick-or-treats and trunk-or-treats in the region, plus a handful of other Halloween events. As some communities have yet to release trick-or-treat times, the list is not complete. Organizers of additional events are encouraged to contact the Daily Press to be added.

SATURDAY

— The Doyle Township Volunteer Fire Department will host its third-annual trunk-or-treat from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Doyle Township Hall, 654 N. County Road 432 (also called Gulliver Road) in Gulliver. Games are planned as well.

The tour is a fundraiser for the Gulliver Historical Society.
