This new-ish Halloween gathering drew thousands to Ocean Beach on Sunday, touted as the city's largest annual trick-or-treat event, with candy stations and pumpkin decorating.
The whole vibe felt very peaceful and safe, with a noticeable lack of anything rowdy. No booze in sight and minimal music stations, just a bouncy castle for the little ones.
It made me wonder if the event's popularity was because it wasn't near the homeless, bars, drug addicts, etc. I can't remember seeing a single police officer.
The event not only provided a family-friendly atmosphere but also reflected a community seeking safe socialization during day hours, contrasting with nighttime concerns.
