Haunted High Line Halloween

The High Line taps into its spooky past for this Halloween event. Over 150 years ago, freight trains ran at street level and grew to become a real danger as the city’s population increased. Tenth Avenue was called "Death Avenue" and in 1930, an elevated train track was erected as a safer alternative to the street trains. The train track would eventually become the High Line and once a year, those unfortunate souls who lost their lives in train accidents rise up to haunt the park. But no worries, the event is more of a fun festive experience—think face painting, costumes, dancing, live performances and a photo booth—than a creepy haunt. On the High Line between 14th and 16th Sts. All ages.
