Cheerful “Trick or treat!” declarations echoed throughout a Richmond parking lot as superheroes, princesses and a giant baby in diapers greeted each other on Saturday.
Parents, children and pets had dressed up in their best costumes and drove to the Richmond Martial Arts parking lot with their spookiest car trunks for the annual “Trunk or Treat.”
According to organizer Johnny Ahmed, the event began around six years ago, and this year’s event saw the most sign-ups ever.
Jen Co, a first-time participant, told the Richmond News she decided to sign up with her kids after hearing about it from a friend last year
She added that she wanted to go all out this year because her kids are at the age to enjoy the festivities.
The theme for Co’s trunk, and her family’s costume, was none other than Skibidi Toilet, a viral YouTube animation series.
“My kids love Skibidi Toilet. That’s their favourite,” she explained.
The family’s costumes and the robot guarding their trunk were all handmade by the family over “a couple of weeks,” and it was all worth it.
“(The event is) a little chaotic, but a lot of fun,” said Co.
“I think (the kids) are having a lot of fun.”
