Costumed Family Bike Ride – Get in a little exercise before all the treats later in the weekend. Bring the whole family out (in costume!) with their bikes for a fun family ride, hosted by Kidical Mass Reston. The ride will begin at the Pony Barn Picnic Pavilion and follow a casual 2-mile route exclusively on Reston’s trails. See more information online.
Howl-O-Ween On The Plaza – Dress your cat or dog up in a costume and bring him down to Lake Anne Plaza for a good old-fashioned pet parade. There will be games, contests, and treats for your furry friends. The festivities run from 1 to 3 p.m., with the costume contest kicking off at 1:30.
Trick or Treat at Reston Town Center – Get your trick or treat on early at the Town Center from noon to 4 p.m. Retailers, restaurants and the folks at the Information Center will be handing out goodies to kids in costume. Any business with a pumpkin flier in the window is participating. Plus, enjoy a performance by Turley the Magician at 1 p.m. in Fountain Square.
Howling Halloween Dog Costume Contest – Stick around after trick or treating at Reston Town Center businesses, because the dog costume contest kicks off at 4 p.m. at the Pavilion. Prizes for best dog costume, best dog-owner duo and best group costume will be given out. Participants must register ahead of time online, and arrive between 3:15-3:45 to check in and pick up your contestant bib.
