"Some of the embassies that participated last year are sitting out this Halloween. The Embassy of Paraguay told us they had "no plans" to offer candy, mentioning there are "a lot of things going on." When we reached out to the Indonesian Embassy and Embassy of Lesotho, both locations replied that they did not know whether they'd welcome trick-or-treating. However, four embassies did confirm they will be open during their business hours to receive trick-or-treaters on Halloween."
"Embassy of Belize 2535 Massachusetts Ave., NW | Until 4 PM Embassy of Greece 2217 Massachusetts Ave., NW | Between 3-5 PM Embassy of Portugal 2012 Massachusetts Ave., NW | Until 5 PM Embassy of Romania 3003 Massachusetts Ave., NW | Between 5-7 PM We initially included five embassies offering trick-or-treating. This post has been updated to reflect only four will confirm they are participating."
A longstanding Embassy Row trick-or-treat tradition is declining. Only four embassies confirmed they will hand out candy this Halloween. Seven embassies participated in 2024, a small increase from recent years when around five or six opened their doors. In 2016, American University listed 12 likely embassy trick-or-treat locations based on 2015 information. Some embassies that participated last year will not participate this year. The Embassy of Paraguay has no plans to offer candy. Indonesian and Lesotho embassies did not know whether they will welcome trick-or-treaters. Candy may be limited and hours vary.
