The most jaw-dropping parking lot you've ever seen 🏎️
Cars & Candy is our all-inclusive trunk-or-treat car show — and it's grown into one of the most joyful days of the year. From exotic supercars (Lamborghini, Bugatti, Audi) to classic cruisers and even heavy equipment (yes, a concrete truck… and one year, a pony!), it's a lineup you have to see to believe.
We give trunk-or-treat a whole new spin: 30+ decorated trunks, a DJ and live performances, food trucks, haircuts by The Noble Chair, face painting, a pumpkin patch, and cash prizes for the cars — a whole fall festival in one spot.
This year we're honored to feature special appearances from Chicago Motor Cars, Illinois Motors, and The Hamilton Collection. Last year about 40 cars filled the lot — this year we're aiming to triple that!
This isn't just a special-needs event. It's hosted by our friends to bring the whole community together. Not divided — together, all of us. 🍂
