New York’s 35th Annual Halloween Parade
Sure, it’s been sanitized and commercialized over the decades, but New York’s Village Halloween Parade remains a rite of passage for New Yorkers and out of town visitors.
Started by a Greenwich Village mask maker and puppeteer in 1973, it began as a walk from house to house in his neighborhood for his children and their friends. By 1975, the Parade had formed itself into a not-for-profit organization. Today, the Parade draws more than 50,000 costumed participants and spectators estimated at 2 million.
