## About

A free downtown trick-or-treat loop in La Plata. Children in costume, accompanied by an adult, visit participating local businesses — look for balloons outside the doors — to collect a free treat, and can start or finish at Town Hall on Queen Anne Street, which has its own activities and treats. More than a dozen shops, restaurants, the fire and rescue station, the police department's Crime Solvers table and county agencies take part. No registration is needed.
