WeHo Halloween Carnival Cancelled (Again)

The city of West Hollywood has announced its annual Halloween Carnival, one of the largest in the U.S., has been cancelled again due to health and safety concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The cancellation seems to be due to a combination of COVID concerns, the monkeypox outbreak and budgetary issues. https://twitter.com/AndyVermaut/status/1560844304196587520 From Deadline:

Interestingly, however, West Hollywood’s annual Pride event still happened on June 3-5 this year. Daily Covid case numbers on that date in Los Angeles were just about where they are today, except in June they were on their way up, while today they’re on their way down. 

WeHo officials told Los Angeles Magazine that decisions regarding the Halloween Carnival were made at a public City Council budgetary meeting on June 27. But, it seems, many in the public have not gotten the message.

This will be the third year in a row the massive event has been canceled.
