“That’s why we came today,” said Hannah Godwin from San Diego. “Let’s just analyze all of the costumes, like hanging out, people watching, it’s such a good vibe to be honest.”

“We came in last night and look at the crowd and it’s kind of surreal to see thousands and thousands of people,” added Dylan Barbour of San Diego.

Organizers say Sunday was possibly the biggest for the sold-out three-day festival that usually takes place in August. More than 70,000 people took part every day.

“So much fun. I decided to be a little warmer this year,” said Lena Martinson from San Francisco. “Yesterday it was a little foggy, today it was a little sunny and beautiful.”

People danced to their hearts’ content while others enjoyed bites from dozens of restaurants in the Bay Area.

Nancy Glickenhaus was handing out candy and pizza at her daughter’s house.

“I’m a grandmother, so I had many, many Halloween parties and that’s beyond anything I could ever grasp,” said Nancy Glickenhaus, who is visiting from New York City.

“I feel like this Halloween is really refreshing. I can go out again, be with my friends, ”said Thomas Nguyen from San Francisco.

Outside Lands from the land of trick-or-treaters could be heard on Sunday. In recent years, residents have complained about the increased noise, rubbish and traffic caused by the music festival.
