At 1 p.m. a costume parade begins at Oxford Circus Toys and Villavillakula on the 8100 block of Germantown Avenue. Children can meet on the block and parade up the avenue through the Market at the Fareway and back to Laurel Hill Gardens, where an area with straw bales and pumpkins will provide a backdrop for photographs.

At 2 p.m., Weavers Way Co-op will host a pumpkin painting at their 8424 Germantown Ave, location.

From 2 to 4 p.m., participating avenue shops will welcome costumed children for tricks and treats. Shops will be marked with window signs if they have candy to hand out.
