Our neighborhood is one of the best places in the world to trick-or-treat. Many families go all out on decorations. If you go to a house on the corner of 11th and F Streets NE you will even see an elaborate Harry Potter house. However, not everyone wants to go trick-or-treating and others want more than just one night of Halloween fun. We have a list of some of the best alternatives.
