FALL FROLIC

October 31, 2026 | 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Join us for some Halloween fun at Glen Echo Park! Activities include Halloween arts & crafts, a festive fall photo-op (say that 10 times!), Trick-or-Treating at our resident art studios and galleries, and a costume contest (will you win for "Most Spooky," "Most Creative," or "Best Group?"). We focus on the arts-y & crafts-y more than the scary, but we love to see all the costumes – even the scary ones!

Plus, we'll have some Halloween music provided by our very own Washington Conservatory of Music (WCM)'s Suzuki Program Students and Washington Conservatory Orchestra (1pm - 2:30pm)!
