Gay men, wider LGBTQ+ visitors, costume artists, local regulars, performers and fundraising supporters dominate the weekend.
Dress code in practice
Costume and expressive nightlife presentation are central, but exact theme, venue coverage and prohibited-item rules vary by party.
Host and security inclusion
The weekend has a long LGBTQ+ charitable identity; community purpose is stronger evidence than generic Halloween marketing.
