Here Are Some Halloween Events For Kids Hosted Around Montgomery County

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Halloween is right around the corner and there are plenty of things to do in Montgomery County beyond traditional trick-or-treating. We have a list of events being put on by the county, the cities of Rockville and Gaithersburg, and other groups around MOCO.

If you do decide to go trick-or-treating, the county has some suggestions on how to keep it as safe as possible.
