"New York City is doing Halloween its own way again this year, and families are in for a treat. Trick-or-Streets is back for its fourth season, and the celebrations are already in full swing across the five boroughs. Through October 31, several neighborhood blocks, plazas, and open streets will continue to transform into festive, car-free zones filled with music, costumes, and fun."
"What started as a one-week experiment has grown into a two-week citywide festival, turning some of the busiest pedestrian areas into fun and walkable spaces packed with music, performances, crafts, and Halloween fun for all ages. Psst... Check Out For parents, that means a safer way to celebrate Halloween. Every year, Halloween sees a spike in traffic accidents, many involving children."
Trick-or-Streets converts neighborhood blocks, plazas, and open streets into car-free Halloween zones across all five boroughs through October 31. The program grew from a one-week experiment into a two-week citywide festival that emphasizes walkability and local programming. Families can expect live music, interactive performances, seasonal games, and arts and crafts tailored to kids and teens. The NYC Department of Transportation coordinates with community groups, local businesses, and city agencies to produce neighborhood-specific events. The format reduces street traffic risks on one of the busiest and deadliest nights for children by providing protected spaces for trick-or-treating. Staten Island's Castleton Avenue event occurred October 18.
