Time Out LA
Día de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever The largest Day of the Dead celebration in California, and we wouldn’t doubt it: art exhibitions, dance rituals, musical performances, arts and crafts projects and food vendors (and crowds) aplenty. This year’s theme, “Tonas and Nahuales,” celebrates the spiritual guides and guardians central to indigenous Mesoamerican cultures, and it’s sure to be a spectacular display, as always. And after a couple of years of being split into two sessions, the 2024 edition will return to an all-day event, albeit one with staggered admission times (10am–2pm, 2–6pm and 6–11pm). Regardless of when you enter the Día de los Muertos event, you can stick around until the midnight close. The glowing, flickering altars look absolutely incredible after dark—though that’s also when the crowds tend to be the thickest. Oct 26, 2024

Time Out LA
West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval This is one of the largest Halloween street parties in the world, and there’s really no better place to be on October 31st. Sure, the crowd is huge (like, a half-million people huge) and a bit belligerent, but the amazing display of costumes and general merry-making spirit deem it at least a worthy stop, if not your main destination for the evening. There will be dancing, drinking and many impromptu costume contests. Even if you don’t plan on entering one, it’s best to still come dressed to the nines—no one likes a party pooper in jeans and a T-shirt. Find it along Santa Monica Boulevard, between Doheny Drive and La Cienega Boulevard.
