Village Halloween Parade
What started out as a walk from house to house in the
neighbourhood for friends and family by a mask maker and puppeteer
in 1973, is today the largest celebration of its kind in the world,
and one of New York's most colourful annual parties. Listed as one
of the 'Top 100 Things to do Before you Die', the lively event
attracts millions of spectators and participants every year who
take part in a parade featuring huge papier-mâché
puppets, jugglers, stilt-walkers, bands and dancers, and plenty of
outrageous costumes.
