Good to know

  • The original mass 'Halloween in the Castro' block party was discontinued after 2006 following a shooting incident
  • Revived since 2023 in a smaller, family-friendly night-market format rather than the historic block party
  • Non-alcoholic, community-focused; free and open to the public
  • Category corrected 2026-08-05 from "arts" to "festivals"
  • Recurring monthly with no specific parseable date -- kept as "ongoing" rather than removed, unlike the one-time annual festivals below that already had their single 2026 date pass
