38th Annual Halloween Parade: 12 p.m. at Westchester Avenue & Southern Boulevard
The most terrifying time of year is upon us and the four-decades strong Bronx Halloween Parade is back. Themed after ’80s horror films, people are strongly encouraged to suit up in their best. The parade starts at Southern Boulevard and Westchester Avenue, heads through Southern Boulevard and Intervale Avenue and concludes at Dawson Street. Even after the parade there is still much fun to be had! Head to Bill Rainey Park to enjoy an artistic showcase from surprise celebrity guests, elected officials, marching bands and compete in costume contests with actual cash prizes.
Reserve a spot now with free admission!
Spooky Garden Nights: 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. at the New York Botanical Garden
Dress up in your most harrowing costume and don’t miss the several events taking over the garden nights. Adam Bierton, a professional sculptor, will be demonstrating his prowess and creativity on giant pumpkins. Brought to you by local puppeteer Lucrecia Novoa, experience the otherworldliness of seeing a parade of life-sized, life-like skeletons. Another live performance will be held by Hit the Lights! Theater: A Live Shadow Puppet Performance, with special attention in maintaining the vintage aesthetic, using classic overhead projectors, shadow puppetry and on-the-spot music to set the mood.
Tickets are $30 for non-members and $25 for members.
