West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval 2024 takes over a portion of Santa Monica Blvd.

A one-mile stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard will transform from a roadway to festival grounds Thursday night, as West Hollywood's Halloween Carnaval celebrates the holiday.

The boulevard will be closed between N. Doheny Drive and N. La Cienega Boulevard as the event takes place from 6 to 11 p.m.

First launched in 1987, the Halloween Carnaval will feature a stage at the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and N. San Vicente Boulevard with a live DJ set, food trucks, and thousands of costumed Halloween revelers for the night.

There will also be Halloween celebrations at businesses, bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues throughout the city.

To ensure a safe Halloween Carnaval for everyone, the City of West Hollywood and the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station remind attendees about important safety guidelines:
