Dear neighbors, 

As the days grow shorter and the air becomes crisp, Halloween season is officially upon us, and there is no better time to connect with your community. 

Here in District 7, we’re embracing the spirit of the season with festive decorations, fun events, and opportunities to celebrate with family and friends. Whether you're taking the kids trick or treating or hosting your own costume party, Halloween brings out the best in community spirit. 

Across the city, you’ll find iconic events like the Annual Great Hauntway, tours on Haight Street and the always colorful festivities in the Castro - each one a reflection of San Francisco’s vibrant and diverse spirit. But just as important are the block parties, pumpkin patches, and trick or treat routes here in our own backyard. Whether you’re new to the neighborhood or have lived here for decades, this season is the perfect opportunity to get outside, meet your neighbors, and celebrate all that District 7 has to offer. 

Wishing you a fun and safe Halloween season, 

Supervisor Myrna Melgar
