Billed as the most outrageous Halloween event in
the world, the Village Halloween Parade is one of New York's most
colourful parties. Towering papier-mâché puppets are a regular feature,
as are stilt-walkers, jugglers, breakdancers and around two million
onlookers.

With more than 50,000 scarily-clad participants,
the celebration of spooks and ghouls takes place in Greenwich Village
along 6th Ave from Spring Street to 22nd Street. Every year it conjures
up an obscure theme which dictates the style of dress and participants
go to town on creating the most outrageous and eccentric costumes that
they can possibly dream up. This is a time to let your imagination run
wild through the streets of New York.
