The East Mountain community is set for a Halloween extravaganza with two different festive events scheduled for the same day, Saturday, October 25th. From morning car enthusiasts to all-day family fun, residents of Cedar Crest and Tijeras will have plenty of options to celebrate the spooky season.

Morning Treat: Cars & Coffee Trunk or Treat in Cedar Crest 🚗

For those who like their Halloween with a side of chrome and caffeine, the East Mountains Cars & Coffee Trunk or Treat is set to kick off the day.

This event will take place on Saturday, October 25th, from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM in the parking lot next to Triangle Grocery on North 14 Cedar Crest, NM.

Car enthusiasts are invited to bring their “rides,” decorated or not, for a unique morning of trunk-or-treating. Organizers are encouraging everyone to bring their families and friends to this community gathering. The early timing makes it a perfect stop before heading to the afternoon and evening festivities in Tijeras.
