(Washington, DC) – On today, October 31, the Bowser Administration, led by the DC Department of Parks & Recreation (DPR), will host nearly one thousand DC residents at over twenty Halloween-related events across the District. DPR also opened its decorated headquarters to trick-or-treaters from nearby elementary schools on Halloween.
“Mayor Bowser encourages us each year to provide an even greater variety of safe and engaging activities for kids, teens, and adults during the Halloween season,” said DPR Director Keith A. Anderson. "And each year, we continue to expand our events, including those on Halloween, to more and more neighborhoods, providing Washingtonians across the District the opportunity to participate in fun, free activities designed for the whole family.”
This year, DPR launched Halloween-related activities on October 24 at Barry Farm Recreation Center with an event that provided free costumes to 500 DC children. Upcoming DPR Halloween events will range in size and theme from the “Tiny Tots Costume Party” to the 20th Anniversary of DPR's largest Halloween event, “Haunted House at Fort Davis.”
