Trick-Or-Treat: When, Where To Get Candy Near Bethesda

BETHESDA, MD — Halloween has arrived and there are plenty of places to find candy around Montgomery County. We have a list of events being put on around the county for Bethesda and Chevy Chase trick or treaters to choose from.

Do you have a favorite neighborhood for trick-or-treating in Bethesda or Chevy Chase? Let us know in the comments where you go for the best Halloween has to offer.

The county has some suggestions on how to keep trick or treating as safe as possible. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, avoid congregating in large groups and consider having unvaccinated children wear masks, the county said. The Montgomery County Department of Transportation issued some suggestions for drivers to keep kids safe while they're out on the road:

Drivers should slow down and be alert! Kids are excited on Halloween and may dart into the street. Reduce your speed and turn on headlights early in the day to spot kids from further away.

Drivers and Trick or treaters should put electronic devices down and keep heads up and use caution on our streets and sidewalks.

Trick or treaters should only cross the street at corners or crosswalks. Always look left, right, and left again when crossing, and keep looking as you cross. Walk, don’t run, across the street.

Trick or treaters should make themselves more easily seen by carrying glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors.

“With the return to a more traditional Halloween this year, we want to remind residents that drivers need to slow down, avoid distraction and impairment, and use extra caution. Kids need to be visible, aware of traffic, and careful when walking on our streets,” said MCDOT Director Chris Conklin. “It is so important that we all take the necessary care to keep each other safe.”
