Halloween doesn’t have to murder your wallet—NYC has a ton of free, fun events around town that are safe and car-free.

What is Trick-or-Streets?

Every year, the NYC DOT partners with Open Streets, plazas, and other areas for the month of October to create pedestrian spaces to celebrate the spooky season. Celebrating Halloween with your kids and trick-or-treating has never been so easy!

More than 100 car-free events were planned for NYCs, including live music, circus acts, comedic clown performances, jugglers, and more. There are also events in November coming up to celebrate the Mexican holiday of Día De Los Muertos.
