Throggs Neck children and their families embraced the Halloween spirit at the 33rd annual Throggs Neck Halloween Parade.
The parade began on Harding and East Tremont avenues continuing to the Throgs Neck Expressway Service Road before concluding at Throgs Neck Boulevard where the annual Halloween street fair, carnival and costume contest were held.
The neighborhood tradition was sponsored by Assemblyman Michael Benedetto, Councilman James Vacca, Senator Jeff Klein and Congressman Joseph Crowley.
With a grin stretching ear to ear, Janessa Gonzalez enjoyed this year’s Halloween Carnival.
