Community-driven and family-friendly, Halloween in the Castro returns in 2024, marking another year of revitalized celebrations since the hiatus began in 2006 after a violent incident.
While Halloween in Castro used to attract up to 500,000 people, the event has become more subdued, focusing on community engagement and a safer environment for attendees.
Community organizer Manny Yekutiel anticipates a similar vibe to last year’s festivities with ‘mini activations’ like face painting, allowing for family inclusion and engagement.
The atmosphere for Halloween in 2023 was described as relatively quiet and cute, contrasting sharply with the raucous parties of the past, fostering community rather than chaos.
