Waikiki still attracts Halloween crowd despite the risk of COVID-19
Waikiki — normally a Halloween hot spot — was crowded Saturday night amid fears it would become the site of a COVID-19 super-spreader event.
Halloween in Waikiki is typically bustling with thousands of costumed partygoers packing streets, bars and restaurants. Although crowded, it was relatively subdued early in the evening as bars remained closed and law enforcement also came out in force.
Honolulu Police Department Deputy Chief John McCarthy said police were trying to maintain high visibility, anticipating that the peak hours for Halloween in Waikiki wouldn’t come until about 10 p.m. through midnight.
