Randolph has one of the most complete Halloween lineups in Morris County, and all of it runs through the township recreation department. Three separate events fill the weekend before Halloween, with a rain date held the following day.
Haunted Trail: US Legends runs two nights from 6 to 9 p.m. at Veterans Community Park, 100 Calais Road. It is a walk-through trail after dark, and in 2026 it was folded into the township’s 250th anniversary programming, with the theme built around American legends.
Trail of Treats runs on the Saturday from noon to 2 p.m., at the same park. This is the low-scare version, built for sensory-sensitive kids and anyone too young for the night trail. Families walk the trail in daylight and play Halloween Bingo, and a completed board earns a treat, with a non-nut option available. It now includes a hayride as well. Cost is per child.
Trunk or Treat follows that same Saturday from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., but at Brundage Park, 2 Bungalow Lane, not Veterans. Kids trick-or-treat from decorated car trunks, with games and photo ops rounding it out. Trunk hosts set up from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Cost here is per vehicle rather than per child, which is worth knowing if you are bringing a carful of kids, and the event supports the Mt. Freedom Fire Company.
Because Trail of Treats and Trunk or Treat run the same afternoon at two different parks, families doing both have time to grab a snack and move between them. Both sit on the Calais Road side of town, so it is a short hop rather than a cross-township drive.
Halloween itself falls on Saturday, October 31 in 2026, and Randolph’s residential trick-or-treat hours are announced closer to the date. Nearby, Morristown runs its downtown trick-or-treat on October 30 and Parsippany holds its Trunk or Treat at Smith Field on Halloween, October 31, from noon to 3 p.m. Everything countywide is in our Halloween in Morris County guide.
More Halloween nearby: haunted houses and Halloween attractions, plus pumpkin picking and corn mazes across the county.
