Ghosts of NY in the Annual Village Halloween Parade


Halloween is coming up with its frights, terrors, ghosts, costumes and candies. We hope your costume is already made up and you better hurry if you’re still looking for ideas.

Halloween is truly special and if you had enough of tricks and treats and you’re looking for something extra special this year, why won’t you come down to New York City, the greatest city in the world, for a weekend of fun, scares and endless shopping.

Of course that you don’t want to miss the major Halloween event here in the Manhattan. It’s the 36th annual Village Halloween Parade and it’s the nation’s largest Halloween celebration and truly one of the great festivals of the world (it’s actually listed as one of the 100 Things to do Before You Die book).


2 million people attend the parade every year and another million join the fun on the TV. The parade is known for its giant puppets and lively audience. 50,000 parade participants from anywhere in the Northeast, work all year round in order to create the amazing giant puppets and bring them in the city for Halloween.

The parade starts at 7pm on Saturday, October 31 and runs straight up 6th Ave. from Spring Street to 21st Street. You might consider getting there early because the streets get pretty crowded and you also might consider to book a cheap flight with Do All Travel!

Happy Halloween!
