Witch Watch is back at George Mason University, and this year it has morphed into a new being.
Mason’s Student Government is inviting the Fairfax community for the reinvented Witch Watch, now a Halloween “mini festival” where families can come on campus and enjoy an afternoon of fun, said Nathan Dorfman, chair of the Department of Mason Affairs and State Outreach and Networking.
The event will be held at the Pilot House Plaza, by the Hampton Roads dorm, on Sunday from 3 to 5:30 p.m.
Traditionally Witch Watch involved groups of students acting as safety patrols in the Fairfax community while children trick-or-treated, but this year Mason is welcoming them inside the campus, said Mary Vertucci, chairwoman of the University Life Committee.
About 25 student organizations will man tables outside the Pilot House Plaza, Vertucci said. The tables will include Halloween activities, games, balloons and candy.
“Children can trick-or-treat from table to table,” Vertucci said.
There will also be music at the event.

One goal for Witch Watch is that the Fairfax community and Mason students connect and engage with each other, Dorfman said.
“We want to show Fairfax that we care about them, just like we hope that they would be interested in Mason,” said Vertucci. “I hope that children and their families will have fun, have a happy positive experience and enjoy their time at Mason for the afternoon.”
Free parking for the event will be available at the first and second levels of the Rappahannock River Parking Deck. There will be signs pointing people in the direction of the event, Vertucci said.
