Witches,Barbie and Superheroes: Halloween Parade 2023

What  costumes  will  be  popular  at  the  annual Park Slope Civic Council’s Children’s Halloween Parade this year? Super Mario Brothers, Teen- age Mutant Ninja Turtles, and The Little Mermaid were all on the big screen. And of course, Barbie. All are welcome – costumed or not – at the parade,  the  largest  and  longest-running  children’s  Halloween  Parade  in  New  York  City. Adults are invited to dress up and march, too. The  Halloween  Parade,  on  October  31st,  follows neighborhood trick or treating along Seventh Avenue in Park Slope. Local businesses hand out candy and other treats from 3 to 6 p.m.

At 6 p.m., line up to march in the parade at 14th Street and 7th Avenue. Floats, bands and marchers follow the Park Slope Civic Council and elected officials for the parade, which starts at 6:30 p.m. The parade route heads north to Third Street, then turns  left and ends at  Old Stone House. There is  more fun at Old  Stone  House/Washington Park. You can march the  whole  parade,  join for a little while, or stand on the sidelines and see all the fabulous costumes go by. The festivities end by 7:30 p.m. so kids can do their homework and get up for school the next morning.

The Park Slope Civic Council presents the parade in partnership with Park Slope Parents and Old Stone House.
