Knott’s Scary Farm is canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as are other California theme parks’ Halloween events.
The latest guidelines also prevent carnivals, festivals and haunted house attractions, and instead encourage online parties, that comply with vehicle parade protocols and Halloween movie nights at drive-in theaters that meet health and safety standards.Advertisement The county won’t strip away all Halloween celebrations. Halloween meals at outdoor restaurants, Halloween-themed art installations at outdoor museums and dressing up homes and yards with decorations are still allowed — provided they comply with countywide COVID-19 protocols.to avoid holiday-related outbreaks such as those tied to Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
Christmas is next.
Nah, maybe trick or treating in the traditional sense. Why can’t one put social distancing markers on the sidewalk and have the candy be self serve? Also, what concentration of people warrants a “gathering”? What if there are clusters of 10 people all 40 ft apart?
Just add it the the ever growing number of reasons I’ll never live in California
what if they dress like they are larping for ANTIFA or BLM?
In CA: Stage a protest: Saturday, 10/31/20 about 5:30pm. Bring ur kids. Put em in costume (hiding identity). Wear a mask. We will walk all around our neighborhoods and protest cancellation of Halloween. Bring a bag so kids can loot the neighborhood for candy. Spread the word!🎃
Thank God. Halloween is nothing more than a blatant disregard for public safety. I applaud the brave action of the leadership in Los Angeles.
BREAKING: ONLY PEDOS IN WHITE VANS WILL BE HANDING OUT CANDY THIS YEAR
GOOD SIT TF DOWN 😂😂😂✌🏽
Good thing I live in freezing Minnesota woodbury
Keep falling in line sheeple.
How in the hell did big candy not get out ahead of this
The NannyState making sure it sucks any hope of future fun out of as many lives as possible.
LA Cancelling Halloween knowing most people are sitting on a metric ton of TP is just asking for trouble.
No West Hollywood Halloween Carnival. Sigh. Understandably! I waited 5 years for it to fall on a Saturday again! DARN! :(
No one thought - hey — how do I give a book and a candy bar or lollipop to every kid k-6 in LA?
Isn't Halloween just a few days before the election? So in-person voting should be banned too. Oh, and mail-in ballots should be quarantined for 14 days before they are touched by the people counting them. The postmark should be required to be 2 weeks before November 3rd.
Dress the kids in blue hair, skinny jeans ripped at the knee, bicycle helmets, and a cardboard shield and you can say they’re ‘peaceful protestors’ and, simultaneously, tell everyone that their costumes are ‘unemployed Gender Studies majors with meth addictions’.
Commiefornia
There is, and according to corrected CDC data there never was a pandemic. Sue these commie bastards!
You people have lost your fucking minds. How da fuck you gonna ban Halloween trick-or-treating? Who is going to stop it? Live your lives. Let kids have a childhood!
Looks like another peaceful protest AKA Riot is in order!!!
You can’t cancel a private party.
We’re in Memphis and we are doing a Halloween egg hunt and homemade costume contest! There are some Halloween’s I don’t even remember what I went as.. it will be ok.. breathe
How about 50,000 of us meet and protest, shouldn’t be a problem
TheDemocrats are the ultimate party poopers. Rioting, looting and burning notwithstanding. Do me a favor, Californians: don’t EVER vote for Dems again. Please.
It's not unusual, because the pandemic on peak it's not safe to celebrate on large scale.
What the freakin what is wrong w/ ppl going along with this? The gov has overreached. My private home nope. Public places fine. They’re crossing a big line. They want to suggest to stay home fine. They crossed a huge line ppl better wake up.
Now we know where all the Nazi's ended up..LA.
Do you even remember when ya stopped making your own decisions and let local democratic politicians think for you?
Don't care. I've canceled LA. Anything from there can stay there. Nobody needs it.
Very sad. All political. So glad I don’t live in that hell hole anymore.
GavinNewsom has spoken.
Maybe parents should organize a protest on October 31st. Everyone can wear masks. That's allowed by Democrats.
Indoctrination through fear...
Basically 2020 robbed us of our lives. Complete and utter WASTE of a year. Watch, I bet that Covid “magically” disappears soon after the elections are over. All this is a bunch of BS and political stunt.
Cancelled? Is the LA Times based in Britain?
Rolling blackouts are more important.
the Beatings will continue until Morale improves.
You sound silly silly rn
Thanks to the A-hole in office to bungled the whole covid pandemic. Way to go, you P.O S.
Damn :( the only holiday i actually celebrate.
I think we all knew this was going to happen. Lol
The Republican party sends its thanks for the in-kind political contribution.
What about drag queens are they allowed to dress up?
Another reason we’re thankful we live in Texas vs. California. Our kids attend school in person. Our kids have been training with their soccer clubs for three months at full contact. And you can bet they’ll also enjoy Halloween (as will the parents!).
Inb4 LA has city wide Halloween block party
Is it ok if they go trick or treating wearing masks?
Fascist Democrats destroying California daily.
😂🤣😂🤣
keep in mind this's just LACounty, a libtard run county/state. but in no time as usual, the dems will share a brain and cancel trickortreat(ing) throughout the country.
uh did you hear about the drive in stuff they are doing in la too? so yeah..
Only in Libbys back yard would this happen? Whats next? Boycotting Santa then the Easter Bunny? F U CaLifornia
I want the same energy for the bitches that are still going to the beach
Watch this being reinforced only in non white neighborhoods 👀 I’m calling it right now
What if we gather and peaceful protest but with candy?
What if there is candy available during a peaceful protest MayorOfLA ?
Way to go California, let’s ruin the lives of children everywhere. Childhood depression is on the rise as is teenage suicide. But hey, let all those adults go out and riot nightly while children sit alone at home in virtual school & miss out on the joy and fun of childhood.
People: Ugh! Screw regulations, I’ll do whatever I f**king want! Also People: Why are the numbers going up!?
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
California the killjoy state. Halloween is cancelled.
Boo boo. It’s a satanic ritualistic holiday anyways so I promise people are better off not celebrating satanism discreetly and non-discreetly. Celebrate Christ everyday instead 😊
This outta set off some fireworks in California 😬
No ones gonna listen probably lmao
The last time I trick or treated as a kid on Halloween was cancelled because of the Tylenol poisoning scare. I survived and these kids will too.
Love_On70 Will Garcetti arrest kids on Halloween? What a clown show.
They have that haunted drive thru
This is hilarious ppl in the comments mad about this but don't want their kid back to school either. Need a new word to describe someone whose afraid of germs but not when convenient for them
Halloween2020 Halloween
Can we trick-or-treat if we protest LASD and LAPD brutality? Because those other people could.
Wow! Dictators in CA!!
Mood
Don't be mad. At the end of the day it was our fault. Wether the virus is deadly or not wearing a mask shouldn't be a big deal. Hope all the brainless who don't wear a mask are happy now.
Get a pinata, do autumn-themed food for dinner, dress up, play games, watch movies, and have fun. Halloween can still be fun for kids with just immediate family. It doesn't have to be depressing. It's what you make of it.
If oc does the same thing I’m done! If they can reopen everything Halloween can happen!
I don't ever remember reading in our constitution an exclusion or carve-out for local Health Depts to suspend civil liberties. Please trick or treat amd send our lovely overlords a message...
Christmas and Santa will also be cancelled
Maybe we should all dress as blm protesters. That’ll work.
Bold strategy 3 days prior to the election to remind people of the misery of democratic overreach.
lol ok. how can you have halloween anyway when its a million degrees?
Good luck enforcing that. These politicians are drunk with power right now. Can’t wait for the elections
Ridiculous
Democrats are cancelling life in order to make Trump look bad and no other reason.
Can we trick or tweet if we dress the kids in Black lives Matter t-shirts and door to door lecturing white people about how racist they are?
I was assured that the protests presented no danger. Why would Halloween be different? Unless the whole protest thing was total bullshit to begin with, of course.
Oh you mean cancel Halloween the way you do protesting? Like this you mean?
SoCalValleyGal If social distancing effectively mitigates the spread of COVID, and masks mitigate it when social distancing is not possible, if kids (the lowest risk age group) socially distance, and are wearing masks ANYWAY, why cancel it? This is dumb.
y’all chill tf out just have a mini thing with your kids inside you can make halloween your own thing protect your kids
Ban this hellish thing
SoCalValleyGal Simple solution. Go as a skateboarder and bring a bullhorn to demand the candy.
Now cancel the riots dammit
Liberals continuing to vomit on everything. And it is pathetically needless at this point.
Just protest in costumes
All the money is leaving LA, it's gonna get nasty there real soon.
Just take a walk on Spring St. You’ll see ghouls, goblins, zombies - TheDemocrats voter base.
The one holiday people wear fucking masks..... LA is a cesspool.
Do it anyway!!!!!
Hmmm about time for civil protests?
If rioting and BLM protests are okay trick or treating should be okay. It’s fascinating people are okay with one but not the other.
Black Friday craziness still allowed? Sitting on Santa’s lap also going to be banned?
What about an October candy protest for justice?
Do antifa costumes come in kids' sizes?
Yall gonna cancel black friday too? Doubt it.. But hey, we could just stand in line and say were protesting.. Then were immune to corona..
If you want to go trick-or-treating, just wear masks while doing that. It's not that hard!
More liberal hysteria.
Good
Heath guidelines ain’t no law , fuck your policy
Rebellion against overreach is an American birthright. Go Trick or Treating.
🎃Please try a Halloween basket/pail full of treats, small toys, and party favors for your little ones. A Halloween themed Easter basket. HalloweenBasket🎃
Ain't nobody gon listen to some wack shit like that
The last two I can get, but why no trick-or-treating? That makes no sense to me. It can be as safe as you need it to.
What if the kids carry a Molotov cocktail and a Black Lives Matter sign?
This is rock stupid. I'm glad my kids are adults and don't have to put up with this crap! If they were still kids, I'd have a party no matter what the stupid health board said.
'15 days to slow the spread' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Democrats will believe anything their 'leaders' tell them.
I’m robbing anyone that tries to trick or treat at my house
Yeah, that's not gonna stop people from trick-or-treating anyway.
I think trick or treating should be allowed. If it’s outside. Kids only have a short time to enjoy this.
Lol. La sucks
Wow. That sucks. Halloween is my favorite time of the year!!!
Why stop there? Why not cancel Thanksgiving, Christmas and send police to check each house to make sure there are no more than 5 people in the house and haul those in violation to secret prisons? 🙄
But remember it’s ok to protest in mass groups? Idiots
🎃
Halloween isn't canceled where I live...yet, but I'm already thinking of doing things differently this year. I'm planning on decorating my yard and house and having a candy hunt for my niece similar to an Easter egg hunt.
Man this some ol bullshit
Crazy government! At it again! You guys!! 🤣
Sad, but a halloween lover like myself will still decorate. I'll buy a bag of candy just in case but otherwise watch my favorite scary/ halloween themed movies at home
Duh
🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🧟♂️🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
Remember when 4th of July was canceled? LOL
Booooo my birthday is halloween 🎃 I'll trick or treat without y'all haters
I will abide by the new guidelines. That being said I have planned a protest on my street Saturday, October 31st. I will not take away my 1 year old's opportunity to exercise his 1st amendment rights. Currently making the cutest Molotov Cocktails out of mini booze bottles
Virus may be burned out by then. See Spanish flu it burned out in about 9 months...
