Frankfort, IL – Families in Frankfort can celebrate Halloween early this weekend at the annual E.F. Bucko Safety Parade & Trunk or Treat, hosted by the Frankfort Police Department. The event will take place Saturday, October 25, from 10 a.m. to noon at Breidert Green Municipal Parking Lot, offering a safe and festive experience for kids and parents alike.
According to the Frankfort Police Department, local businesses and organizations will decorate trunks with candy, prizes, and Halloween themes. Officers will also be on hand to meet with residents and help ensure a fun, secure environment for all attendees.
This year’s event includes a community service twist — the department is teaming up with the Frankfort Township Food Pantry for a special initiative called “Scare Away Hunger.” Visitors are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations to help families in need. A designated drop-off area will be available at the parking lot for easy contribution.
Organizers say the event promotes both community safety and compassion. Costumes are welcome, and families are invited to enjoy an outdoor morning of treats, smiles, and Halloween spirit with their hometown heroes.
