The night will begin with a special performance of Hallowe’en Spooktacular, and then the costume contest will commence! Hosted by Pickle, Drag Queen Laureate of West Hollywood, attendees have the chance to participate in a costume contest judged by an incredible panel of judges, including Erin Benach, Natou Fall, Audrey Fisher, and Christie Wittenborn. 

You’re invited to show us what you got on the runway!
