West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval on Oct. 31

Halloween Carnaval is scheduled for Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 6 PM to 11 PM in West Hollywood. The free, public, one-mile street party stretches along Santa Monica Boulevard between North Doheny Drive and North La Cienega Boulevard. Thousands of costumed revelers gather along the corridor, with food trucks and a main stage live DJ set.

The announced program brings food trucks and a main stage live DJ set into a street filled with costumed revelers. Take in the outfits, listen to the music, and browse the trucks along Santa Monica Boulevard. Associated celebrations also extend into local bars, restaurants, clubs, hotels, and entertainment venues. Those surrounding festivities add another setting to the Carnaval, alongside the outdoor gathering where thousands of people come together in costume.

Choose your costume before heading to Santa Monica Boulevard, where thousands of revelers gather outdoors. The event guidance advises dressing up and lists three practical restrictions, clear bags only, no alcohol, and no drones. Bring a clear bag if you need to carry belongings, and leave alcohol and drones at home. Keep those reminders alongside your outfit plans as you prepare for the public street celebration in West Hollywood.
