WeHo Halloween 2026 has passed
This guide comes back for the next edition. Until then, every queer event in Los Angeles is on the city page.
Good to know
When is WeHo Halloween Carnaval 2026?
Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 6pm to 11pm on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood — the biggest Halloween street party in the country, more than 100,000 people in costume.
Does it cost anything?
No. The Carnaval is free and there are no tickets or wristbands. Bar parties around it are ticketed or have a cover — each event on this page shows its own price.
Where exactly is it?
Santa Monica Boulevard (Historic Route 66) between N. Doheny Drive and N. La Cienega Boulevard, in the heart of the Rainbow District. The main stage is at N. San Vicente Boulevard with a live DJ, and food trucks line the route.
How do I get there?
Take the free WeHo Halloween Ride: it runs along Santa Monica Boulevard between N. La Brea Avenue and N. Kings Road from 6pm to 3am, and select vehicles connect to the Hollywood/Highland Metro station from 6pm to midnight. Driving in is slow and parking is scarce — if you must, park east or west of the closure and ride in.
Can I drink on the street?
No. Alcohol and public drinking are not allowed on the boulevard. The bars along the route are the place for that, and most of them have Halloween nights running.
What can I bring?
Keep it light. Backpacks, camera cases and tote bags are not permitted; clear plastic bags are. No weapons, fireworks or drones. Kids and pets are strongly discouraged.
What happens after 11pm?
The street reopens, and the crowd moves into the bars and the ticketed parties. The Friday and Sunday events on this page are the warm-up and the afters — most of the weekend's dance parties are on those nights.
Your whole night out,
in your pocket.
