Buckeye will host its 83rd annual Halloween Carnival next month.

Downtown Buckeye will be the site from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28 for the event’s tradition of giving Buckeye area nonprofits, organizations, schools and churches the opportunity to raise money while hosting carnival style booths and games.

Last year’s event raised more than $43,000 and 100% of the proceeds went back to the participating organizations.

Vendors must have a valid 501c3, be located in or primarily serve the Buckeye area and must be a registered vendor with the city to participate in the event.

Volunteers are needed in a variety of positions and shifts from 2 to 9 p.m. Positions include assisting with event set-up, candy distribution, costume contest and vendor check-in.

Families and community members are needed to fill up the Halloween Carnival’s Trunk-or-Treat area. Deck out your vehicle in Halloween theme and pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters at the event.

Participation in the Trunk-or-Treat is free, however, registration is required and the city asks participants to provide their own candy.

All registration and sign-up applications can be found at buckeyeaz.gov/HalloweenCarnival.
