West Hollywood canceled the once-annual Halloween Carnaval for the third year in a row because of concerns surrounding COVID-19, monkeypox and security.
"It's a very valid concern, especially now," said resident Jackson Rickun."It's terrifying for a lot of people, especially with the recent uptick that we've seen."City officials canceled the event, which began in 1987 and continued until the pandemic started in 2019, citing concerns surrounding COVID-19, monkeypox and security.
In 2019, the city paid more than $1 million to ensure the safety of the event with security and street closures, according to D'Amico. He also said the essence of the event was lost with the added measures. The event was formally canceled in June after the City Council approved its special events budget and defunded Carnaval. As for COVID concerns, on Friday, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported 4,274 new cases and 13 new deaths — 11 of whom had underlying conditions.
