Halloween is a big celebration here in DC and the surrounding areas. Especially during the pandemic, I think people invested heavily, and had the time, to do it up right. Events, however, like Boo in the Zoo and Night at the Living Zoo are postponed. Congressional Cemetery Tours (Soul Strolls) are still on, as is DC Ghost Tours. Both are fun and very kid friendly. That said, social distancing is still of the utmost importance and the DC Department of Health even released official guidance on how to have fun while staying mindful during Halloween.
I personally love walking around Georgetown, Capitol Hill, Logan Circle and Glover Park. Glover Park have lots of kids and the decorating game is at a frenzy!
Here are some of my favorite:
Old Town, Alexandria, VA
I will not lie, Old Town, Alexandria, VA has some awesome Halloween decorations. Especially around the historic section of Prince Street, people go all out. In addition, people who live in the Del Ray neighborhood go all out as well.
