After the grownups had their costumed fun throughout Fantasy Fest week, it was the kids’ turn on Halloween.

While the New Town neighborhood surrounding Staples Avenue teemed with monsters, Barbies, pirates and princesses, the Basilica School of St. Mary Star of the Sea got a head start on the sugar rush at its annual Trunk or Treat event the morning of Oct. 31 in the school’s parking lot.

Costumed parents turned the trunks of their cars into miniature themed booths, handing out candy and taking photos.
