Break out your Halloween costumes and join us for a FREE Drive-Thru Trick or Treat event on Saturday, Oct. 23 from 10 am to noon in the Iowa State Fair North Parking Lot.

Our Drive-Thru Trick or Treat will have multiple candy stops for kids and a little something for the parents as well, all without getting out of your car.

We will start handing out bags at 10 am, so please do not plan to arrive before that time. There are enough bags for 1,000 kids, so the event will run from 10 am until noon or the bags run out.

Costumes are encouraged but not mandatory.

The onsite two way radios were generously provided by Electronic Engineering – Providing Wireless Communications Solutions in Iowa and Nebraska for Over 70 Years

Below is the map of the Drive-Thru Trick or Treat. Please enter through Gate 2 (off of University). Only cars that enter through Gate 2 will be allowed in line. All cars will exit through Gate 13 at the end of the route.

Please be courteous to Des Moines Radio Group staff and other drivers!
