Franklin College invites community to annual trick-or-treat event

Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 8:00 AM

FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Franklin College Student Entertainment Board (SEB) hosts trick-or-treaters on Thursday, Oct. 29, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. along Dame Mall on the Franklin College campus. The free event is open to alumni and members of the greater Franklin community.

More than 20 student clubs, organizations, fraternities, and sororities will take part, offering an evening of Halloween fun for children and families. Activities include trick-or-treating, games, face painting, and a special appearance by Griz, the College’s mascot.

While the celebration has been a campus tradition for many years, this is the fourth year it has been held in its current SEB-organized format. Participation continues to grow, with last year’s festivities drawing an estimated 200-plus attendees.

“It’s been exciting to see this event grow each year and become something that both our students and local families look forward to,” said Kandra Sejas, SEB advisor and assistant director of engagement.
