Join the Brentwood-Darlington Neighborhood Association for our annual Spooktacular and Trunk-or-Treat on October 27th, 3:00-5:00PM!  This FREE family-friendly outdoor event is open to everyone!  Children and their accompanying adults are encouraged to dress up and trick-or-treat at the Brentwood-Darlington Community Center parking lot (7211 SE 62nd Ave, 97206).  Bring gently used costumes and dress-up pieces for our free costume exchange. We will be gathering non-food items for the Lane Middle School Food Pantry.  See the list below and donate if you can!  Children under 18 MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian!

What is a “Trunk-or-Treat”? Cars are parked in a closed lot with their trunks decorated. Costumed children trick-or-treat the decorated vehicles.  Interested in participating in our Trunk-or-Treat event with your vehicle? Sign-up here!

We live in an awesome community. Remember if you live in BD, turn your porch light on if you’re having trick or treaters. Last year was a terrible rainy night but we all still had a blast. Watch for kids and drive slow. Have fun, and stay safe!
