Every Halloween, people from all over Baltimore come to Fell's Point to take part in the second largest Halloween celebration in the United States after Salem, Mass. Adults, teenagers and college students all convene on the bars and streets of Fell's in an all-night tribute to the one night of the year when anything goes.
This year's party, despite lower-than-normal attendance, saw unseasonably mild weather, bringing out troves of B-list actors, politicians, Super Mario Brothers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, referees, sumo wrestlers, mascots, pirates, 70s TV show characters and women (some of whom just looked like women) in the most revealing outfits possible.
The crowds of friendly drunks, lascivious ladies and superheroes were watched over by mounted police, some decorating their horses for the occasion. Whether they were a devil in a blue dress or a walking Pac-Man, Halloween revelers at Fell's Point made sure the 2005 celebration will not be soon forgotten.
