West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval

This year’s Halloween event has been cancelled due to COVID-19

In May 2020, the West Hollywood City Council approved the cancellation of all major special events in the City of West Hollywood through the end of 2020. This action followed the City’s declaration of local emergency in March 2020 and postponement or cancellation of non-essential events and meetings.

Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic — and as part of continued compliance with Health Officer Orders from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health — the City of West Hollywood’s annual Halloween Carnaval is cancelled for 2020.

West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval, one the largest and most unique Halloween gatherings in North America, typically takes place annually on October 31.

More event information is coming soon. Be sure to check out the city’s information page about the event.

Where is it? How do I get there?

The Carnaval is an annual public event that takes place on Santa Monica Boulevard between North Doheny Drive and La Cienega Boulevard from 6:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m..

Admission

The admission is free and no tickets are required, but there are some guidelines you may want to be aware of. With big crowds and risqué costumes, WeHo’s biggest party of the year is a bit rowdy for innocent eyes. We do recommend leaving the kids and pets at home.

NOTE: No backpacks, camera bags or totes allowed. For everyone’s safety, please carry items in clear plastic bags. (Or, just carry an ID and credit card with you.)

Halloween Parties

There are parties throughout West Hollywood that occur alongside the Halloween Carnaval. Search for other Halloween parties in West Hollywood. (We want everyone to have a great time, but you can’t purchase or consume alcohol on the street.)
