Halloween Street Party

The 19th Annual West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval happens this year from 6 pm till midnight and it's the largest excuse for drag queens and Kevin Spacey to come out and party called "Halloween Street Party" Same sex capital of the world, West Hollywood. In a city known for clean streets, wonderful family oriented restaurants called Open Manhole, and topless bicycle cops there's no better place to celebrate this outlandish paegan ritual than the city that in some cultures is called The City Of Lost Angels.

Close to half a million people take to the streets of Santa Monica Boulevard to enjoy the raunchiest, cross dressed party ever. The big draws of the evening are the Halloween Costume Contest and crowning of an Honorary "Queen of the Carnaval." Last year, Radio and Television Personality Ryan Seacrest took home the title, although every year he takes home the city title.

Visitors can also expect fantastic live entertainment (Pink, Jody Watley, Jane Weilden are past performers), assless chap wearing hotdog venders, and special events like "drag" races, pumpkin carving contests, and children's activities which are sure to scar your kids for the rest of their lives. Admission is free, and it really is not for the faint of heart but worth the laugh at least once in your life to see how far the law will allow people to go in order to have a good time with as little morals as possible. So come discover and enjoy West Hollywood on Halloween, then run home to your heterosexual partner and cry yourselves to sleep whilst watching 7th Heaven.
