If you love Halloween and all things dark and spooky, this is the excuse you've been waiting for to create something strange for your community and to connect with other weirdos.
whisper to the crows
We will promote the event with flyers, our mouths, and social media.
Submit your idea and we will feature it in the promotional materials we share leading up to the Stroll.
the limits
Make it spooky, without traumatizing the kiddos, or harming the diverse community that makes the Bay Area great.
There will be no electrical sources, port-a-potties, toxic waste, or vats of blood provided.
Anything you bring must be cleaned up before dawn, or else.
disclaimer
This is not an official, city-sanctioned event. We have no permits. Police are not invited, but they are not as polite as vampires, and it’s possible they will show up anyway. Please do not stake them in the heart.
