The trick-or-treat event will take place on the South Lawn.
First Lady Melanie Trump announced the White House events for Halloween, which will take place on Thursday on the South Lawn.
The White House announcement stated, “During this special White House tradition, thousands of children and their parents will proceed around the South Lawn to visit various trick-or-treat booths and enjoy the autumnal decorations on the South Portico of the White House.”
The announcement continued, “The President and First Lady will hand out commemorative candies on the South Drive for a portion of the event. Adding to the festivities and fun, the United States (U.S.) Air Force Strolling Strings will play traditional Halloween songs and modern tunes while the President and First Lady welcome children and families.”
The event will provide toy mail trucks from the U.S. Postal Service and facilitate a BE BEST post card station for children. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will have a giant pumpkin photo opportunity and hand out mini pumpkins from American farmers.
