Don’t get frightened if you live in the South Bay area of L.A.
You”ll find a Halloween party. And more.
Halloween 2018 is on Wednesday, Rocktober 31 with the big party weekend happening on the 26th and 27th. And there are plenty of spooky things happening in the Beach Cities of Hermosa, Manhattan and Redondo Beach that weekend.
Here’s the complete rundown.
SOUTH BAY SCREAM (FRIDAY, OCT. 26)
Also known to locals as “the Portofino Party,” this is the big singles party in the South Bay, tho this year it is not held at the private function room of the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach’s King Harbor.
Instead, it’s at Alta House in Hermosa Beach. That’s the former Ocean Bar.




Put on by local promoter Berry Bly, it features different rooms with different DJs in a combination of a South Bay casual yet also Vegas-hip atmosphere.
There’s tarot readers, performing artists and about 1,000 of many of the South Bay’s most available singles, all partying and in costume.
Tickets: $40 plus a $4.99 service fee in advance. There may be some available at the door, but that’s taking a chance since this is usually a sold-out party. There are also VIP package starting at $300 for a table with bottle service.
