The festival
Each October since 2008, store windows in downtown Falls Church have come alive with images of bats, witches, scarecrows, pumpkins and ghosts--the friendly kind through the Falls Church Halloween Window Painting Festival.
This year, Falls Church Arts is not sponsoring the event because of the coronavirus threat.
However, the tradition will continue, coordinated by the George Mason High School PTA.
