All kinds of ghouls, goblins and demons were out in style at the Village Halloween Parade.
Village Halloween Parades
return in spooky splendor
Neon lights glittered from fl oats as participants danced
and shouted to booming songs, like Celebration by Kool
and the Gang. An opera singer even joined the fun as she
sat inside of a Zoltar fortune teller box, which
was pulled along by individuals dressed as
Phantom of the Opera.
Hundreds of NYPD offi cers were also
on scene in order to help control the
heavy crowd but many of the men and
women in blue also were in awe of the
spectacle themselves thanks to those
in costume.
The parade itself showed-off the
creativity of the Big Apple thanks to
intricate attire from blood thirsty vampires
and ten-foot-tall skeletons to comic book
heroes and iconic pop stars, the march
had it all. The screams and cheers could

Glow in the dark scares. New York’s finest were left with open mouths.

The West Village Halloween parade returned on
Oct. 31 after being scared away due to
COVID-19.
The annual spooktacular returned on
Sunday night, drawing thousands of
spectators who lined up from Spring
Street and 6th Avenue to 16th Street.
With all the parades that have
been resurrected after the worst of
the pandemic, the Village’s Halloween
extravaganza seemingly drew the
most onlookers. Nothing has compared
to body-to-body mass since pre-COVID
as tens of thousands were crammed
together behind metal railings. New
Yorkers fought to catch a glimpse of the
spooky goings-on that lasted deep into the night.
