The nation’s largest Halloween celebration is back for the 50th annual Village Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village. Coined as “The Greatest Event on Earth for October 31st”, this New York City event is not one you want to miss. The Village Halloween Parade is open to the public, and you can walk with your best costume down 6th Avenue with your friends and family. If you’d rather watch than participate, there’s no doubt you’re in for a spectacular show.
This year’s theme for the parade is “Inside/Out: Upside/Down.” The idea behind this theme is about reflecting on the past few years of our lives and how our world was turned upside down. Now, it’s time to come out and celebrate how far we’ve come. How you interpret this theme is entirely up to you. Be creative with your costumes and join the fun of the season!
