EWEB's Truck or Treat brings family fun
November 06, 2026 • Ashley Cissna, EWEB Communications
EWEB held our third annual hallmark autumnal community event — Truck-or-Treat — at the Lane Events Center on Friday, Oct. 30.
Approximately 1,900 people showed up for the event, which is free, with families and children trick or treating from truck to truck.
This year we had an out-of-this-world solar system, rocketship, floating ghost, Mario Brothers, and a giant plate of buttered spaghetti noodles! EWEB also shared winter preparedness tips, took photos in the photo booth, and gave visitors the chance to vote on the Public Power Week posters created by 5th graders from throughout the area (winner to be announced soon!).
Last year, more than 2,500 people visited the Truck or Treat event after a last-minute move to the Lane Events Center due to inclement weather. In 2024, the first year of the event, about 1,200 people came to EWEB's Roosevelt Operations Center for the inaugural event.
Check out all the photos from this year.
