The WeHo Halloween Carnival returns – MyNewsLA.com • stonescape

Thousands of costumed revelers will descend on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood on Thursday evening for Halloween Carnaval 2024, which traditionally attracts partygoers in highly original costumes and is the culmination of a party that extends from the streets to bars and restaurants throughout the city .

Billed as “one of the most unique Halloween gatherings in the world,” the free carnival begins at 6 p.m. on a one-mile stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard between Doheny Drive and La Cienega Boulevard.

The carnival will feature a stage at the intersection of Santa Monica and San Vicente boulevards with a live DJ set and food trucks.

As in the past, alcohol and public drinking are not permitted on city streets. Backpacks, camera bags or other bags are also not permitted, although clear plastic bags are permitted.

Weapons, fireworks and drones are also prohibited, and children and pets are “strongly discouraged from participating,” according to the city administration.

The Halloween carnival took place annually from 1987 to 2019. In May 2020, the West Hollywood City Council approved the cancellation of all major special events in the city through the end of the year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In 2021 and 2022, the city encouraged entertainment venues and businesses to offer “alternative” Halloween experiences.

But in 2023, Carnival made a triumphant return.

The city will suspend its parking restrictions for residents from 11 a.m. Thursday to 12 p.m. Friday. The five-story parking garage at West Hollywood Park will remain closed Tuesday. City officials warned people to be aware of where they park as parking restrictions remain in effect in neighboring Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.

West Hollywood Park will be closed from midnight Thursday morning until 7 a.m. Friday.

The event will also result in road closures that will impact many drivers' morning commutes. The following closures apply:

– San Vicente Boulevard between Santa Monica Boulevard and Melrose Avenue from 12:01 a.m. Thursday to no later than 7:00 a.m. Friday;

— all alleys between Santa Monica Boulevard and Melrose Avenue from 12:01 a.m. Thursday to no later than 7:00 a.m. Friday;
