| The Camarillo Police Department is proud to announce our annual Trunk or Treat event. This year, we will once again join forces with the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District and the City of Camarillo to host a combined event “Halloween in the Park and Trunk or Treat”. The event will take place at the Camarillo Community Center, located at 1605 Burnley Street. The event will be on Wednesday, 10/28/2026, from 5:30 PM until 8:00 PM. New this year, we will be hosting a “Can for Candy” food drive at the event to support Food Share Ventura County. We encourage all families who attend to bring canned and non-perishable food donations to the event. All donated food will support Food Share Ventura County and their on-going support of many in our communities. Join us for a fun evening, where several community partners will adorn their cars in Halloween decorations and pass out candy to kids. The Sheriff’s Office, Ventura County Fire Department and AMR will also be present to hand out candy and stickers. They’ll be bringing resources and vehicles to display including an armored vehicle, police car, police motorcycle, sheriff’s K9, sheriff’s off-road vehicle, an ambulance and a Ventura County fire engine. This Halloween event is intended to be a free, family-friendly event, and appropriate for all ages. Our goal is to create a safe place where everyone can dress up in costumes and enjoy themselves an additional night during Halloween week. In addition to the Trunk or Treat, the event will feature food trucks, crafts, games, and a costume contest, making it a can’t miss Halloween celebration for all ages. Camarillo Police Chief Eric Tennessen stated, “The Camarillo Police Department looks forward to this Halloween event every year. The community collaborations of all the service providers and community organizations have turned this event into one of the best Halloween events in the county. We look forward to seeing everyone this year at the Halloween in the Park and Trunk or Treat”.

This event provides a wonderful opportunity for families to enjoy a safe, fun evening together while connecting with our community partners and local first responders. We are also pleased to support Food Share Ventura County through this year’s “Can for Candy” food drive and encourage everyone to bring a donation to help support local families.” The Camarillo Police Department would like to say thank you in advance to our wonderful community partners who are joining us, Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District staff, and fellow first responders for helping make this event a success.
