Since there is possible rain on Halloween this year, my daughter decided to wear her fox costume as we went to Georgetown DC looking for some fun fall activities. Later in the day, we checked out JTCC’s Costume Contest & Tennis Festival, but she wanted to be prepared in case we came across any other festive occasions during our Georgetown DC Mother Daughter fall day out together over the weekend, which we absolutely did! 🎃

Mother Daughter Day Out In Georgetown DC

We began our day with brunch at the Peacock Cafe where we cheered to a good day over a smoothie and water. She adored the kids’ pasta, and I thought the French Toast with Strawberry syrup was one of the best I’ve had! The restaurant was spacious and well lit, and it overlooked a pretty area with a fountain.

Neighbors DC Fall Festival in Georgetown DC

Next, we visited the Neighbors DC Fall Festival. It’s a community rooted pop-up and creative hive for small, local, and independent brands in the DMV and beyond. They had a festive photo-shoot set up with stacked pumpkins, and there was a kids’ space with coloring sheets and candy.

One shop we enjoyed looking at was Lamimi Boutique and their Day of the Dead items. They had tiny alebrijes and other little figures.

Georgetown Waterfront Park

From there, we walked down to the Georgetown Waterfront Park to see the view of the Potomac River and to enjoy a stroll down the quiet paths.

Near the C&O Canal, we found plenty of seating, including swinging seats where we could enjoy the view of the water and the leaves changing color together.

Shopping on M Street in Georgetown

Visiting the shops on M Street in Georgetown was well worth it. Our favorite place to pick out some items to bring home was Paper Source, where they had seasonal toys, stickers, candy, and more for Halloween, and some Christmas items were already out too.

Window shopping in Georgetown was a fantastic experience. It’s known as one of the best shopping districts in the country! We saw some shops decorated for Halloween, and we stopped by the new Glossier store that has an aviation theme inspired by the Jet Age.

Driving out of DC, we made sure to go through the neighborhood of Georgetown to see the houses decorated with spooky spiders and skeletons.
