Huntington Beach, California's Main Street is full of treats on Trick or Treat Halloween Day, October 31


This creative costume pictured with the Pink Tutu and Gold Trim would not be complete without accessories such as the pink-feathered bonnet. Rouge, lipstick and pink fingernails are perfectly matched for the complete ensemble. Standing in front of Perq's, a favorite local bar with live bands, the scene looks like something out of a Hollywood set, if not for the white, plastic shopping bag that says, "Jack's".

Southern California, home to Hollywood and make-believe, loves to celebrate fantasy both during the Academy Awards Celebration and Halloween. Halloween is not just a night of Trick or Treating for the kids, it's an opportunity for adults to concoct original and creative costumes and for one night be someone or something else.

While some confess to planning their costumes months in advance, many start their search in October, scouting costume stores that rent apparel ranging in prices from $25 to $500 dollars.

For over a decade, Huntington Beach, California's Main Street has closed around 4 p.m. on October 31 to make way for the annual Halloween Celebration. Downtown merchants hand out candy to trick or treat youth from 6 to 8:30 p.m. when the street is designated a children's fun zone. Moon bounces, pony rides, petting zoo, balloons and a costume contest all make this a night to remember. And it's totally free.

What's especially interesting from a sociological perspective, however, is the ambiance that welcomes the 21 and older crowd who find downtown especially enjoyable and friendly on this fantasy night.
