Halloween
2021 Halloween festivities kicked off at Lansburgh Park with families, dogs, and kids who came out with the best costume ideas. Over 300 neighbors met and engaged in Halloween activities with critical Southwest organizations that provide local resources. Additionally, activities included everyone and their pups walking in a parade loop to show off their costumes. Topping off the parade, a dance-off to Thriller was a highlight of the evening.
There were numerous activities for all to enjoy beyond giving out candy. SWBID's area had a bubble machine kids danced in, and there were Halloween duckies everyone was thrilled to squeak! There was also a very popular crafts table where kids decorated pumpkins on paper. SWNA passed out tangerines, and SW Gardens helped kids create small autumn-themed bouquets. Friends of the Library had various toys on display and candy for kids to choose from. One of the biggest attractions came from Kadampa DC, which had a pumpkin ring toss game. In the true spirit of the waterfront, SW Mutual Aid set up a "fishing pond" for kids to reel in treats. SW DC Action and Amidon-Bowen Elementary School PTA also came out in full spirits with more activities for kids.
After the treats were gone, families made their way to a haunted house. Lansburgh Park was a massive success for 2021's Halloween in creating a safe and family-friendly night out for the community.
