Castro Halloween returns after nearly two decades

Big block parties collectively ghosted us in the pandemic, but the Castro’s annual costume soirée vanished long before that. Pleasant news ahead for us though: the iconic Castro Halloween returns this Saturday and Sunday.

2006 shooting sent it on hiatus, but organizers aim to make the event less chaotic by tailoring it for families. Activities include face painting, trick-or-treating for kids, a costume contest, and Halloween movies at the Castro Theatre.
