Oct. 25—Local youth are invited to don their Halloween costumes and hit the Francis Scott Key Mall for some trick-or-treating Oct. 27.

Whether dressed in cute or scary outfits, trick-or-treaters can grab candy from stores while balloon artists stroll through the mall and Shew-sical Entertainment jams out to haunted toons, according to a news release.

The event concludes at 8 p.m. Categories include infant and toddler (ages 0 to 5 years old), kids (6 to 12), and teenagers (13 to 17).
