Tarkio Parks & Recreation will host its annual Tarkio community Halloween Costume Parade and Trunk-or-Treat Saturday, October 31, 2026, on Main Street in Tarkio, Missouri. Registration will take place from 3:00 to 3:45 p.m. in the Farmers State Bank parking lot (a preregistration link can be found on the Tarkio Parks & Recreation Facebook page). Judging will begin at 3:45 p.m. At 4:00 p.m., the costumed characters will walk down Main Street (please stay on the road, not the sidewalks) and make their way to the Enel parking lot at the corner of 2nd and Main where the trunk-or-treat vehicles will be set up. Winners will be announced as soon as everyone arrives to the trunk-or-treat. Please stay and listen in case your child is a winner. The newspaper will be on hand to take photos of the winners to be published in the Atchison County Mail. Be sure to bring your “boo baskets” to collect as much candy as possible!
