Halloween Festivities 101

Halloween seems to be THE holiday for both kids and college students. But as college students, we celebrate that in a slightly different way.

What do students at GW do?

• Check out Embassy Row for trick-or-treating - just make sure that you go during business hours. Most embassies close at 5pm.


• Go to the season opener exhibition game at the Smith Center as GW takes on UDC. Wear a family friendly costume!


• Going to the drag race in Dupont Circle is always popular - it's in its 18th year! Its held on Tuesday at 9pm, but get there early to get a good spot!


• The most popular spot for Halloween night is M Street in Georgetown...a quick walk from campus bound to be overflowing with costume clad partygoers.


• If you're 21 or older, use the holiday cab service SoberRide. It's free up to a $50 fare...just call 1-800-200-RIDE from a DC phone number and a cab will come pick you up!

Just a few suggestions for a fun holiday. Happy Halloween from WRGW News!
