trees of varied reds, browns, and oranges now line the streets of washington dc as autumn fully takes its hold. apples are being picked from nearby orchards, pumpkins are placed atop stoops and sidewalks, and as the october holiday quickly approaches, decorations are arranged throughout front yards. as people ready themselves for a night of costumes and candy, the city prepares with the closure of a familiar street, the word of a new event sending a ring of excitement & wary among its citizens. a series of stands and tents pop up overnight, a festival is coming to town, giving everyone the opportunity to spend a cool autumn's day with friends and family. so dress up, enjoy a sweet treat or two, and have a chilling time at the city's halloween fest !

DATES :
october 18th - november 1st
this event will last the 14 days out of character , but only 10 days in character.
