West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnival is an annual event that attracts thousands of people. This event is always very crowded: It's almost impossible to find parking, traffic is very heavy whether walking or driving. This year, the surrounding parking lots that advertised to charge visitors $20 for parking prior to the event, charged $40 dollars during the event instead. I Hop Restaurant located on Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood, charged visitors $3 to use the restroom!
