Details
The Village Halloween Parade 2022—NYC’s creative and spooky procession—is one of the best Halloween events in Greenwich Village and it's back this year!
Each year, more than 50,000 zombies, ghouls, witches, monsters, robots, Jedis, giant puppets and more things that go bump in the night take to the streets for a night of costumed revelry.
So get your costume ready, the Village is getting spooky!

- How do I march in the Village Halloween Parade 2022 in NYC?
It is usually free to march in the parade, but costumes are mandatory. The procession lines up at Sixth Ave and Canal St and rolls out from 6:30pm–8:30pm. North and west entrances to Sixth Ave will be blocked off by 6:30pm, folks can join the line from East Broome, Sullivan, and Canal streets east of Sixth Ave. We recommend gathering your fellow creatures of the night a few blocks away rather than trying to find your group in the middle of the chaotic lineup.
If you want to march in the special theme section, not to mention skip the line, special tickets can be purchased for $25.
- Where can I watch the Village Halloween Parade in NYC?
Spectators can get to Sixth Ave early and grab a lookout spot before the parade rolls out at 7pm. Sixth Ave becomes most congested with spectators between Bleeker and 14th Sts, so we suggest setting up camp at either the head (Spring to W Houston Sts) or tail (14th St to 16th St) of the parade.
