This longtime tradition established by students in the late 1980s is not only a highly anticipated event for the University, it is also open to and eagerly awaited by children and families from the local community.   

This year's event will be held on Saturday, October 31 from 5-7 p.m.!

Trick-or-Treating on the Lawn online events

Lawn residents and members of student organizations are stationed in the 54 Lawn rooms as well as the Range to give out treats. All candy is donated and distributed by approximately 70 student groups and other organizations.

UVA CIOs should visit the Trick-or-Treating on the Lawn webpage for information on how they can sign up to pass out candy on the South Lawn.

Hosted by Lawn and Range residents and co-sponsored by Housing & Residence Life, the event receives additional support from the offices of Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Facilities Management, Parking and Transportation, and the University Police Department.
