The celebrations have become part of the neighborhoods culture over the years. Abc seven News Reporter tim johns went to find what we can expect this time around. The countdown is on until one of San Franciscos hallmark celebrations halloween in the castro. Its really everything to us.

And everybody is already comfortable and being themselves. But halloween kind of takes it a step further in the castro. Tim johns, abc seven news. That looks like fun.
