Halloween belongs to all of us. Following last year’s successful campaign to keep everyone safe and maintain the Castro’s tranquility, San Francisco is continuing and expanding the Home for Halloween campaign. Like last year there is no party or special event in the Castro. However, there are lots of events and celebrations and you will find a list of all (or most) of the party events below.
.
This Friday, October 31st, bars and restaurants in the Castro will be open for business. However, as was the case last year the streets will not be closed to traffic. As in every other community in the City, there will be zero tolerance for behavior which doesn’t respect the celebrated diversity of our communities. Let's make it really clear: violence against anyone will not be tolerated. Violence against the Queer community will be met with swift, severe and immediate action from the San Francisco Police Department. They will be all over the Castro.
.
The San Francisco Police Department plans to be out in unusual force with foot patrols, bicycle patrols, motorcycle patrols, car patrols and the special tactics and weapons team standing by. They will also have undercover units stationed at intervals throughout the Castro so that visual contact surveillance can be maintained at all times of the entire incident area - which is the entire Castro Neighborhood and upper Market Street.
.
Again, like last year, there will be zero tolerance for individuals and businesses that do not obey alcohol consumption and distribution regulations. The Home For Halloween website will help a business or organization promote their events free of cost. The offer is extended to all greater San Francisco Bay Area communities so - if you are going to be a Halloween public event host - please let them know about what you have planned in your community.

The Castro is not appropriate for a party with 100,000 people. So, the Home For Halloween campaign enters its second year of celebrating Halloween throughout the Bay Area and encouraging people to respect everyone’s neighborhood. With your support, we can indeed make Halloween a “home” for celebrations that are fun, festive and respectful. Halloween is for everyone.
