Spooky events will be held around San Diego on Friday to mark All Hallow’s Eve aka Halloween, the third largest party day in the nation behind New Year’s Eve and Super Bowl Sunday is upon us, and Hillcrest does it to the hilt. This unofficial national gay holiday that has a reputation for uninhibited mayhem and wild, sensual fun and because October 31st falls on a Friday this year, there will likely be many more fabulously frocked people roaming Hillcrest streets in costume, seeking both tricks and treats. Hotspots will be brimming with celebration and most will feature special Halloween events and draws, including costume contests, drink specials and plenty of eye candy. Drivers and pedestrians— be alert as the sometimes mayhem of fright and fun overflows into dark neighborhood streets. Or stay home and carve a punkin.
1,000s are also expected in Hillcrest for the 16th annual “Nightmare on Normal Street” Friday night from 7-10pm. The San Diego LGBT Community Center’s Halloween celebration will be set up on Normal Street just north of University Avenue to Blaine Street. This year’s celebration is for those 18 and older and will include a costume contest with more than $1,000 in prizes. The parade of costumes will be emceed by Nicole Murray-Ramirez. Guest costume judges will include Monique Marvez from Monique and the Man on 100.7 JACK FM. DJ Steven Oliveri will spin and the Rich’s go-go boys will be performing throughout the night. A $5 donation will be collected by The Center. Here’s sumptin scary
