Trick or treat? The best answer to this question is always “treat”, and you’ll have a bag full of candy, otherwise you risk the kids playing a little prank on you. If you want to witness one of the most traditional experiences of this party, we recommend that you pass through West Village after 7pm.
The soul of Halloween, the costume parties. One of the most famous is held in Central Park; here you will enjoy a costume parade, live music and terrifying stories. Without a doubt though, the most beautiful part of the party is the jack-o-lanterns parade, in which you’ll see loads of carved, lit-up pumpkins around Lake Harlem Meer. You’ll be lost for words, guaranteed.
Another party that you can’t miss out on is the Village Halloween Party. This starts with a spectacular parade, where witchcraft, ghosts and death all take center-stage. Although, honestly, you’ll find the most unexpected costumes in the world. Make a note of its location, it starts at 7pm and goes down Sixth Avenue until Spring Street. Plan the best October 31 possible, because you cannot miss out on this event.
