AI GeneratedFamilies and children have gathered in downtown Bethesda for the annual Halloween Trick or Treat event. For a small entry fee, participants enjoy a festive atmosphere featuring costume contests, character meet-and-greets, and candy from over two dozen local participating stores.
T-minus three days until Halloween.
A big, spectacular night of family fun,
though, is in the offing in Bethesda.
Yeah, always exciting for families and everyone out there.
And kids can get a jump on the trick-or-treating right away.
Who has to wait till Halloween?
Let's do it now.
Fox Live's Jennifer Delgado joining us live from downtown Bethesda.
Jen, I love your Halloween costume.
You're all dressed up.
Don't you have one on?
Oh, yeah, she does.
Yeah, I got a little something on,
but I'm totally being outdone by all the kids down here.
Let me tell you, these kids are timely.
The event started at 4:30, and they're
already flooding the streets of Bethesda.
Wave to the camera, everybody.
Say hello.
All these kids are out here for the annual Halloween Trick or Treat.
Now, they can come down here
and take part in some of the character photos.
And, of course, joining me right now, Denise,
this has been going on for many years.
Every time this happens, I say we've got
to do it because it's a big deal.
Yes, the community loves it,
and they love showing up and dressing up for the event.
Alright, now tell us what people are going
to find out here when they come out here for $5.
They're getting a lot, more than two dozen stores.
Yes, so more than two dozen stores, free trick-or-treating.
For the $5, you get character meet-and-greets,
balloon twister activation.
And the cool costumes.
And the cool costumes, and the Bethesda Row tote,
and all the goodies and the candy.
Let's ask some of the kids.
Now, what do you wear, and who are you for Halloween?
Rumi.
Rumi.
What about your brother?
I'm Luke Skywalker.
Oh, you do a good job of it.
Let's walk over here.
Now, tell me, what are you guys for Halloween?
I'm a minion.
Minion.
And your pumpkin sister?
I love it.
What about you?
Okay.
Spider-Man's keeping it on the low-low.
But if you walk over here, you can see people are just piling in,
and they're taking over the streets.
They're going to be out here until 7:30 tonight.
Look at this.
This is a dinosaur.
Maybe Joe can show you the kids there.
They've got candy over here.
So when the kids come home tonight,
they're not going to be going to bed anytime soon.
They're going to have a sugar rush.
And, you know, you see all these kids out here
in the stores that are taking part.
How does it feel, you know, to be a part of Sephora doing this?
Oh, it's so nice that Sephora is participating.
It's nice to just have a family-friendly event.
I love it.
All right.
And I love the cobwebs on your eyes.
Now, what about you?
What do we have here?
He's a little skeleton.
Skeleton.
You're not so scary, but you're super cute.
So you see all the characters.
You can come out here, have a good time, and again,
it only costs $5, and once it gets dark, it gets really poppin'.
Back over to you guys.
All right, thank you.
