Get ready for Halloween fun! The Vail Recreation District will host the 33rd Annual Trick or Treat Trot on Friday, Oct. 31, 2025. This FREE event is a great opportunity for kids (infants up to 10-year-olds, plus their families) to trick-or-treat through the streets of Vail from 2 to 5 p.m. No registration required! 

Participating merchants will have an orange jack-o-lantern leaf bag outside their front door. Trick-or-treating may begin in Lionshead or Vail Village. The Trick or Treat Trot takes place rain, snow or shine! Participants are asked to bring their own reusable bags.
