West Hollywood Stands Alongside Chicago and New York as Halloween Destinations in the USA Stage Epic Costume Carnivals
Halloween Destinations in the USA: West Hollywood, Chicago and New York City Put Street Carnivals, Costume Parades and Giant Puppets on Travellers’ Shortlists West Hollywood, Chicago, and New York City are leading three major Halloween celebrations in the USA, offering three distinct ways to celebrate Halloween on October 31, 2026. The events include a free Halloween Carnaval, a neighbourhood parade, and a Manhattan procession. While West Hollywood's free Halloween Carnival runs from 6 p.m. to 11 p. m. while Chicago's 30th-anniversary Haunted Halsted Halloween Parade follows an afternoon street festival. Each event has different participation rules, street closures, and transport considerations for last-minute visitors. Key factors include how to reach the celebrations, where to watch, whether tickets are required, and whether accommodation remains available. All three events welcome spectators, but preparation for joining a procession can require additional preparation. West Hollywood offers the most straightforward option for an energetic Halloween-night street party. The city has also announced a free WeHo Halloween Ride service operating from 6pm on October 30 until 3 a.m., with selected vehicles connecting to the Hollywood/Highland Metro station until midnight.
