CANCELED: Village Halloween Parade
- Critics choice
- Free
As the Mayan calendar counts down and humanity prepares to (maybe) clock out, don’t put off taking part in this huge masquerade—it could be the last. Every parade begins with a procession of macabre puppets, and organizers are certainly tempting fate with this year’s theme of time. Expect plenty of clocks with wings (time flies—ha!) and white rabbits frantically checking watches. The puppets and creations are made by famed groups such as Superior Concept Monsters, the Madagascar Institute, the Puppeteers’ Cooperative and Basil Twist’s studio, and music comes courtesy of the Hungry March Band. To walk with the throng up Sixth Avenue just turn up in costume on the night (start at Sixth Ave between Canal and Spring Sts; Oct 31 6:30–8:30pm).
