The Halloween Parade is Better than Ever!
October 31st
6:30 Start Time
7th Ave and 12th Street is the starting point (continuing to Union Street), but don’t rush down to join at the beginning or you’ll miss the best parts!

This year’s parade will feature large-scale puppets built by the Park Slope Parents’ Puppet Team with the help of Theresa Linnihan from the Puppeteer’s Coooperative. Make way for these new additions and join the parade at the back so you can see it all before participating in the biggest childen’s parade in the United States
