The Beverly Hills City Council approved an emergency ordinance on Oct. 13 banning trick-or-treating on Halloween due to the Coronavirus pandemic. In addition, Los Angeles County public health officials are not recommending gatherings, so you most likely will not be going to a Halloween party this year either. In anticipation of these restrictions, L.A. event producers, city planners and a few architecture buffs got creative and put together some wild rides this year–all viewable from your car.
Normally, the streets of neighboring West Hollywood are lit up with décor and costumed crowds on foot celebrating into the wee hours. This year, The City of West Hollywood Recreational Services Division is hosting its annual youth Halloween event at Plummer Park. “Trunk-or-Treat” has been reimagined as a drive-thru event on Oct. 24 from 2 to 5 p.m.
