RIVER GROVE, Ill. – Get ready for ghoulish fun at the Triton College Alumni Association’s annual Alumni and Friends Trunk-or-Treat in Space on Saturday, Oct. 10, from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at the Cernan Earth and Space Center. Children and their families are invited to collect candy and other child-appropriate giveaways from creatively decorated parked cars in the Cernan Center’s parking lot, located in front of the building.

No visit to the Cernan Center is complete without experiencing a show in the Planetarium. Join the Cernan staff for a free and “spacey” Halloween themed planetarium show at 11:45 a.m., 12:15 p.m., 1 p.m. or 1:30 p.m.

This family-friendly event is free and open to the public, offering kids a safe and festive way to celebrate Halloween.

We hope you have a boo-tiful good time!

In case of inclement weather, Trunk-or-Treat in Space will be held indoors at the Cernan Center.
