Halloween Weekend: Treasure Island Halloween and a Fiesta in Bernal Heights
Events: Halloween weekend is upon us and there will be several fun, spooky events around the city from which to choose. Head down the Stern Grove as it is transformed into Scaregrove this Friday or check out the festivities in the Castro during its Glow in the Streets Halloween block party on Saturday. Throughout the weekend Treasure Island will host its own Halloween-themed TreasureFest full of fun, food and frights. On the less scary side of things, this year's Hussain Day Procession will take place in the Civic Center this Saturday and the Fiesta on the Hill in Bernal Heights will kick off this Sunday.

The annual Fiesta on the Hill celebrates the diversity that comprises Bernal Heights and its surrounding neighborhoods. Spanning over seven blocks with arts, crafts, local goods/services and food vendors, this event is a family-friendly, alcohol-free festival featuring activities and entertainment for all ages. Additional highlights include live music, dancing, a children’s area with rides, games and more.

Muni Service Notes: The 24 will have a reroute around the area of the event.
Remember that you can Muni the entire day for a single $5 fare. The new $5 Day Pass, available on MuniMobile®, is part of Muni’s recent fare changes. The pass is intended to encourage a safe, convenient way to pay your fare and quickly board Muni vehicles, which reduces overall travel time for everyone. The $5 Day Pass is Muni bus, rail and historic streetcars only.
