Great Falls Village Centre Green
Sunday, October 31, 2021
5:00 pm to 7:00 pm

Children up to age 12 are encouraged to wear their favorite Halloween costume, experience the Haunted House, and enjoy trick or treating with local merchants in a safe environment right in the heart of town. The event will be held rain or shine.

The Spooktacular was launched over 20 years ago, by members of Great Falls Friends to provide younger children with a central, convenient place in Great Falls to have fun trick or treating. It was because of their initiative that there continue to be Great Falls vendors offering candy around the Village Green as well as in the Safeway shopping center at the corner of Georgetown Pike and Walker Road.

Spooktaculars in years past have been haunted by ghosts, goblins, zombies, a No. 2 pencil, Elsa, a few angels, a witch or two, Clifford, a hotdog, some patriots, a hockey player, Minnie Mouse, some Vikings, a cow, a surgeon, Red Riding Hood, a lion, the evil queen’s magic mirror, a skeleton, super heroes, Dorothy and others from The Wizard of Oz, a princess, a penguin, a Washington Nationals player, a Washington Football Team player, and many more.

Pets are invited to join the Pet Parade. Bring your pet on a leash dressed up in its favorite costume! Parade begins at the The Arts of Great Falls gallery (756 Walker Rd). With judging at 4:30 p.m., there will be prizes for Special Categories. Pets must be cleared from the area by 4:50 p.m.

Please note: Except for the Pet Parade, which ends at 4:50 p.m., the Spooktacular is a pet-free event (except for service animals). Celebrate Great Falls does not provide nor encourage the consumption of alcohol at these events.
