New to Trick-or-Treating in Glover Park? Here is What YOU Need to Know!

1. In Glover Park, we trick-or-treat ON Halloween even if that falls on a school night
2. The wee ones in the neighborhood will start trick-or-treating just before dust so be sure to get your porch lights are on and your candy is ready! Sunset is at 6:08pm and the little ones will start venturing out around 5:30pm (usually after the neighborhood parade – #3 below)
3. Unique to Glover Park, there is a very informal, but incredibly adorable, parade through the neighborhood to kick off trick-or-treating. Participants typically gather around 5pm on Halloween and start marching at 5:30 pm sharp! It leaves from the main stairs at Stoddert Elementary School. Children of all ages, strollers and wagons are all welcome. The route followed in years past is to leave Stoddert and walk down 39^th, turn left on Benton, left on Huidekoper, left on Beecher, right on 39^th and then head back to the school. If it’s raining, stay home and stay dry.
