This year the Park Slope Halloween Parade is scheduled for Sunday, October 31. The parade kicks off at 14th Street at 6:30 pm, and will probably begin turning onto Third Street around 7 pm.
The finale will take place on the turf field on the 4th avenue side of the Old Stone House, and we’re trying to encourage people not to park on the block of Third Street between 5th and 4th Avenues, since that’s where the parade will enter the park.
At the end of the Parade there will be music from Paprika and a steel band – long-time parade participants – and the post-parade party will end by 10 pm.
Prior to the parade, a costume contest will take place on 7th avenue in front of the John Jay High School Building at 4 pm.

My grandson loves this parade, as did my kindergarten and first grade students when I taught at P.S. 321. I wish we had it many years ago when Simone was in elementary school!
