A Spooktacular Night of Cars, Costumes, and Community Fun!

Halloween night just got sweeter at Marketplace at Merced! 👻 The annual Trick-or-Treat & Trunk-or-Treat Car Show returns this Friday, October 31, promising candy, creativity, and community connection for families across the Central Valley.

From 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM, little ghosts and superheroes can enjoy trick-or-treating inside participating stores throughout the shopping center (while supplies last). Please note: full-coverage face masks aren’t allowed inside the common area — safety first for all our ghouls and goblins!

Then, don’t miss the magic at Center Court by Boot Barn, where Julie’s Creative Twist will be crafting balloon art that’s sure to wow every age group. 🎈✨

The Fun Continues in Lot A — The Trunk-or-Treat Car Show!

From 6 PM – 9 PM, head over to Lot A near Chili’s for the Polaris Window Tint & Wraps Trunk-or-Treat Car Show, featuring decked-out rides, themed trunks, and mountains of candy. 🚗💨

This annual car show is a true community favorite — a chance for families to enjoy a safe, family-friendly Halloween experience while admiring creative car designs and collecting treats in style.

Why Events Like This Matter

At Ethan Conrad Properties, we love seeing our shopping centers become community gathering spots — places where local families can come together to celebrate, connect, and make memories. The Marketplace at Merced continues to shine as a hub for family-friendly fun and local engagement.

Whether you’re coming for the candy, the costumes, or the cars, this event perfectly embodies what we stand for:
We Love Our Tenants. We Love Our Community. We Love Fun. 🎃💙
