During a virtual meeting of the Castro Merchants Association November 4, gay District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said he's "open" to considering a return to the traditional Castro Halloween celebration that was quashed by city leaders after a 2006 mass shooting.
Dave Karraker, a gay man who is a merchants board member and co-owner of MX3 Fitness on Market Street, broached the subject while Mandelman addressed the group. "Halloween went off without a hitch," Karraker said, referring to last weekend's celebration. "Nobody was stabbed or shot.
Isn't it time to think about bringing back that tradition again?" The tradition Karraker was referring to was a block party format that attracted tens of thousands of people to the Castro until 2006.

Lewis, she wrote in a Facebook post last year, “taught me about making good trouble but necessary trouble.” She accompanied Lewis on his annual visits to Selma, Ala., where he was beaten by police during a 1965 voting rights demonstration, and videotaped his appearances.Wong is founder of the Conference on APA Leadership, which encourages young Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders to pursue careers in public service. The LGBTQ Victory Institute, which advocated for Wong’s nomination and confirmation, issued a laudatory statement Tuesday.
