Highlights of the Day
Start at the BOO-tique RegistrationBegin your evening at our cheerful BOO-tique guest services station to register and pick up your official trick-or-treat bag (complimentary, while supplies last). Friendly team members will welcome you, share the event map, and point you toward all the candy, crafts, and activities around the center. Look for clear event signage marking participating merchant doors so little ghouls and goblins can roam with confidence.
Premium Candy CrawlThe heart of the night is our Premium Candy Crawl, where participating shops will be ready with sweets and smiles. We’ll supply a premium starter candy allotment to merchants to kick off the fun, and stores will keep the treats flowing throughout the event. Expect a festive stroll with decorated storefronts, costumed staff, and enough sugar to power a thousand Monster Mash moves.
Jibbitz BOO-tique: Croc Charm BraceletsAfter trick-or-treating, head back to “shop” the Jibbitz BOO-tique, where each child can pick out one silicone bracelet and choose four fun charms to create a custom keepsake. It’s a hands-on moment that turns Halloween magic into a wearable souvenir—and a great way to pause, giggle, and compare costumes.
Live DJ & Monster Mash Dance PartyA family-friendly DJ will keep the energy high with uptempo tracks and classic Halloween favorites. Don’t miss the Monster Mash Freeze Dance—when the music stops, strike your best pose and you could win a candy necklace prize. It’s equal parts silly and spectacular, and perfect for photos you’ll treasure.
Balloon Artist On-SiteOur balloon artist will twist up spooky swords, sweet pumpkins, and whimsical creatures. If the line gets long, we’ll switch to simple balloon art to make sure more kiddos leave with something special.
Why It Matters
This event isn’t just about the candy—it’s about connection. One of our favorite moments from a past Trick or Treat was watching a tiny dinosaur approach a storefront, look up at the merchant, and whisper “ROAR” before bursting into giggles as the whole crowd cheered. Those little exchanges add up. Families meet the faces behind local businesses, kids learn to explore their town with curiosity, and merchants get to say hello to neighbors they might otherwise miss.
Across our region, we’ve seen how seasonal gatherings spark joy and loyalty. Whether you’re usually searching “Northern Virginia fall events,” “Alexandria family festival,” or “Maryland Halloween events for families,” there’s a common thread: community comes first. Trick or Treat at Mount Airy Shopping Center turns an everyday errand destination into a festive main street—one where the smallest attendees feel like VIPs and local storefronts shine.
