Arctoberfest

The Arc of Northern Virginia

Arctoberfest is The Arc of Northern Virginia’s signature Halloween-themed fundraiser and celebration - bringing together individuals, families, and community champions for a day of inclusive fun and meaningful impact! This all-ages event is designed to be welcoming, accessible, and sensory-friendly, with two time slots to enjoy the festivities. In the afternoon (3:00pm - 5:00pm), join us in our Halloween Hangout for a scavenger hunt, face painting, and family-friendly fun. Then in the evening (6:00pm - 9:00pm), dance the night away at our Halloween Dance Party, with the first hour designed to be sensory-friendly for a more comfortable experience. Costumes encouraged. Fun guaranteed!
