'You can't have Halloween without the Castro,' For the first time, 2022's celebration will feature a family-friendly daytime event to complement the neighborhood's normal festivities.
For the first time, 2022's celebration will feature a family-friendly daytime event to complement the neighborhood's normal festivities."We all know, gay people love to dress up," said Dave Karraker, co-president of the Castro Merchants Association.On the Sunday before Halloween, the association is hosting a family-friendly daytime Halloween event to complement the neighborhood's normal festivities.
In previous years the Castro has been filled with hundreds of thousands of people which has caused problems, including several instances of stabbings, shootings, and violence. "I think anytime an event outgrows the venue it's been originally designed for you're going to run into problems," Karraker said.2,560-pound gourd breaks record at Half Moon Bay pumpkin weigh-off"It's really nice to have something outside the bar that brings people together from the neighborhood who maybe don't want to spend the night in a bar and want to celebrate a different way," said Chris Hastings of Lookout bar.
So as people return to the Castro for some of their favorite old holiday activities, Karraker says he's hoping this year's event will also become a new tradition. "Everybody loves to come to the Castro to people watch and we think it's going to be a great event," Karraker said.
