The West Hollywood annual Halloween Costume Carnaval is the Halloween party to end all Halloween parties. Santa Monica Boulevard is closed (between La Cienega and Doheny Boulevards) to accommodate around 400,000 revellers in outrageous Halloween costumes.

This event is the largest Halloween street party in the US. As well as the huge parade, there are four stages featuring non-stop entertainment with dancing, music, costume contests and the best drag competition. The party continues all night at any number of clubs and bars in the area.

West Hollywood on Halloween night is not for anyone who is easily offended. Leave your inhibitions at home and party!

The highlight of the evening will be the crowning of the new celebrity Honorary Mayor.The Celebrity Honorary Mayor will be presented the keys to the city on the main stage.

In 2002, the Carnaval was host to big name entertainers like Pink, Paulina Rubio and Berlin. People of all faces and from all places gather in West Hollywood to celebrate this extremely fun night in which diversity is always the highlight. The Carnaval began as a primarily Gay event and has now grown to include families, straight and gay and lesbian individuals.
