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.
A 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.
