Halloween Happenings in NYC

The most famous Halloween event in New York City is, of course, the parade in Greenwich Village that takes place every Halloween evening. But there are lots of other ghostly goings-on to keep you busy until then. This Saturday, 10/24, why not check out the Central Park Pumpkin Festival, where you can pick a pumpkin, go on a hayride, get spooked at a Haunted House, enjoy live performances and watch the lighting of a 20-foot tall Jack O'Lantern Tower. On Sunday, bring your carved jack o'lantern back to the Park for the Halloween Pumpkin Sail at the Harlem Meer. Want more ideas? Check out this list of great Halloween events happening in the city from now until All Hallow's Eve!
