"This year's theme, "Potluck," invites everyone to bring something to the table-costumes, creativity or just good energy-because, as the organizers put it, "when we do it together and care for one another, there is enough for everyone." Expect a dazzling, chaotic mix of 50,000-plus zombies, witches, robots, Jedis and other creatures of the night marching up Sixth Avenue from King Street to 15th Street between 7 and 11pm."
"Whether you're joining the parade (costume required, of course) or just watching from the sidelines, the atmosphere is pure, spooky magic. But if you're not in the spirit, or simply trying to get somewhere below 23rd Street, brace yourself. Street closures will lock down large sections of downtown hours before the parade starts, and traffic is expected to snarl well into the night. Your best bet: ditch the car, grab the subway and expect crowds everywhere from SoHo to Chelsea."
Downtown Manhattan will host the Village Halloween Parade Friday night, running up Sixth Avenue between King Street and 15th Street from 7 to 11pm. The theme, "Potluck," encourages costumes, creativity and shared energy, and more than 50,000 participants are expected. Large sections of downtown will be closed hours before the parade, with traffic snarls likely well into the night. People traveling below 23rd Street should avoid driving, expect heavy crowds from SoHo to Chelsea, and plan to use the subway. A detailed list of street closures covers Sixth, Fifth, Seventh Avenues and several cross streets.
