Halloween Parade NYC

Did you even know there is a Halloween parade in New York? I didn't until two weeks ago. I had nothing else to do last night so I went to it with a couple of guys from my class and it was crazy. It's like other parades in that there are floats and marching bands and people walking down the street but think of all of that taking place at night with everyone in costumes.
Anyone in costume is allowed to be in the parade so there were 50000 people in it. I stood and watched for over two hours and is was still going when I left. When I left I felt out of place not being in a costume. They said that there was about 2 million people watching.


There was a lot of creative costumes and floats.

The crowning jewel of the parade was the "thriller" dancers. They had Thriller playing and there were 5 Michael Jacksons and 200 zombies behind all dancing in unison. It was pretty impressive. It was a lot of fun.
