We love great Halloween events around the DC area. It’s hard not to magic, costumes, pumpkins and fall fun! This year, there is an extra special event that will truly enchant everyone. THE GLOW is a one of a kind pumpkin festival that you absolutely must see and soon!

In Reston, Virginia, about 30 minutes outside of DC, a glorious pumpkin trail exists.
