Halloween in NYC: All the street closures to keep in mind

Tomorrow night, the iconic Village Halloween Parade will take over the city, lining up at Sixth Avenue and Canal Street around 6:30pm and marching through town until about 9pm.

As usual, the north and west entrances to Sixth Avenue will be blocked off during the time of the event, but, this year specifically, New Yorkers will also have to deal with daytime closures as part of a new city-wide initiative called Trick-or-Streets. 

Eric Adams made an announcement about the program last week, specifically noting its intent: to allow citizens to safely enjoy the day all throughout different neighborhoods, no matter what Halloween events they plan on attending. 

“One of New York City’s most valuable resources is our space, and we’re making better use of it than ever before,” the politician said in an official statement. “We’re making sure that all of our city’s residents can safely enjoy our public spaces this Halloween and Día De Los Muertos.”
