PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – Downtown Palm Springs is gearing up for a night of Halloween parties, including in the Arenas District.
The Executive Producer of Halloween Palm Springs, Jeff Hocker, said this is the 10th year events like the Arenas block party have been hosted in the city. Hocker said it is a “labor of love” to make each element of the Halloween weekend unique compared to past years, but the inclusivity of the Arenas block party remains the same.
“It’s not just for the LGBT community. It’s really for everybody to come and enjoy,” Hocker said.
Arenas is hosting the free block party from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. The party includes musical performances, costume contests and more. The theme for the Halloween night party is “Dance Party” with DJ’s set to host the night, including DEV, Meaty Beats by Juan. DJ MODGIRL and DJ Jeffree.
For locals, they said it’s a great night to show case their costumes, dance to the music and come together as a community. Many said the Coachella Valley and Palm Springs feel like a small community, and they want events like this to continue each year.
