MAR LIN, Pa. — Wednesday, October 28, 2026. Families looking for a Halloween outing before the weekend have a local school-calendar event to consider. The Schuylkill Technology Center (STC) lists a Trunk or Treat for today, October 28, beginning at 6 p.m. at STC South. The center’s official online calendar lists the event, making it a useful starting point for parents who want to confirm plans directly with the organizer.

When and where is the event?

The official Schuylkill Technology Center calendar shows the Trunk or Treat on Wednesday, October 28, at 6 p.m. The location is STC South, the school’s South Campus at 15 Maple Avenue, Mar Lin, PA 17951. This is not the school’s North Campus in Frackville, so check your destination before setting out.

The calendar item available at publication does not specify the program’s ending time or detailed parking instructions. Families should consult STC’s official calendar or contact the South Campus at 570-544-4748 for any last-minute weather changes and arrival questions. Avoid relying on a general county Halloween listing if the organizer posts a correction.

What is a Trunk or Treat?

Trunk-or-treat events generally bring decorated vehicles and treat stations into a designated gathering area. They offer a chance for families to enjoy seasonal costumes and community interaction without following a long neighborhood route. The exact activities, treats and participation arrangements for today’s STC event should be verified with the school rather than assumed from other celebrations.

Preparing to attend with children

Costumes work best when children can move comfortably. Choose footwear suitable for outdoor pavement, use reflective details or a flashlight if the event extends into darkness, and keep masks from blocking sight lines. If younger children are attending, agree on a meeting point and stay together around any parking area or moving vehicles.

If anyone in the household has food allergies, ask the organizer what nonfood options may be available and supervise treats appropriately. Adults who bring strollers or mobility aids should check accessibility and parking information ahead of time; the calendar does not specify those details.

Drive carefully in the Mar Lin area

An evening community event may bring additional vehicles and pedestrians near the campus. Follow posted signs and the directions of event staff, watch for families crossing parking areas and avoid stopping where you could block an entrance. If parking fills up, do not assume neighboring private lots are available without permission.

More Halloween activities around the Skook

This event falls just ahead of Halloween on Saturday, October 31. Communities across Schuylkill County hold their activities on different days, so parents should check municipal and organizational sources for each outing. The event is one small example of how the county’s schools and community organizations help bring families together in the fall.
