The Very Best of NYC Halloween

Nightmare Horror Show, Halloween Harvest Festival and the Village Halloween Parade!

Get into the Halloween spirit with the Nightmare Horror Show on the Lower East Side. This year, it’s a scary theater festival—NYC’s first!—instead of a haunted house. Opens early October and runs thru Halloween.

This year’s Halloween Harvest Festival at Socrates Park in Long Island City includes art and costume-making workshops, face painting, food from local restaurants, live music and a dog costume contest—so bring your pooch! It all happens Oct 24.

The main event on Halloween in New York City is none other than the 42nd Annual Village Halloween Parade. Ye
