You’ve got the perfect Halloween costume picked out, but here’s the real question: Where are you—or your kid—going to wear it? Here are some of the best.


Silver Spring Zombie Walk

The undead return to Silver Spring, looking for brains—and the 11:15 p.m. screening of “night of the Living dead” at the AFi Silver. One of the region’s biggest (and most enjoyable) spooky season gatherings finds hundreds of costumed zombies wandering the streets. Everyone—adults and families alike—gathers at the Quarry House tavern at 7 p.m. before shuffling(移动) over to Ellsworth drive by 9 p.m., then over to the theater. There’s no charge to participate, and topical outfits are welcome (the gorier the better).


Halloweeniversary at Baby Cat Brewery

If you’ve been to Kensington’s Babycat Brewery, you know that kids are welcome—and, on some weekend afternoons, seem to outnumber the adults. Fans of all ages are welcome to celebrate the brewery’s first year in business, with costumes “strongly encouraged.” Younger ones can be amazed at the Kensington Volunteer Fire department’s firetruck, which will be on-site from noon to 3 p.m., while older folks will appreciate live music from 3 to 9 p.m. Look for special beer releases to go with the pop-up food from Steezeburger—our No.1 burger in the D. C. area—plus o’ Boy pizza and neighbors the dish and dram.


Halloweekend at the Perch

It’s a day of two parts at the perch, the park located 11 stories above McLean. From noon to 4 p.m., a family party includes “spooky golf” at the Perch Putt mini-golf course, bounce houses, pumpkin decorating and face painting, and costume and pie-eating contests. From 4 p.m. on, the party is for 21 and older, with live music from the cover band “Lights Out”. By 8, beers from the Starr Hill Biergarten, a costume contest and more fun.

Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage for five days where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念)the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that’s the traditional togetherness (友爱)that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.
This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. “People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation,” Riedel said. “It’s really easy to relax, and it’s great seeing family and friends have fun together.” These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.
With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地)for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.
The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it’s easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.
The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug.4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8.
