Party Like it’s Halloween at NYC’s Village Halloween Parade
Nobody throws a party like New York City, so if you are anywhere in the area you’ll want to catch the 35th annual Greenwich Village Halloween Parade.
The Parade emphasizes diversity and family as it brings together the myriad economic, ethnic, social, sexual, and racial components of New York City. Even the NYC Police Department has recognized the Parade for its contribution in making Halloween a safe event, bringing together the community in a creative and playful way.
The parade queues up at 6th Avenue, south of Spring and North of Canal, between 6:30-8 pm. The parade begins 7 pm and proceeds up 6th from Spring to 21st Street. Thousands of costumed revelers will join in with puppets, bands, dancers and artists. Anyone in costumed is invited to join in.
Don’t even think about driving to the Parade; take the subway. The streets are most crowded between Bleeker and 14th Street; so if that’s the viewing spot you want, get there early. There are lots of great viewing opportunities along the entire Parade route.
The parade is a favorite of residents and visitors, adults and families, and attracts approximately two million people. Add in television viewers (NY 1 airing it, 8-9:30 pm), and this event will reach over four million people. Now that’s a Halloween party!
