Halloween in Brooklyn
Halloween in Park Slope is no joke. This is one of the most fantastic places to go trick-or-treating. We're so thankful that you've sacrificed your Halloween time to be with us, but for those travleing with kiddos, please take advanatage of the fun that the area has to offer. For adults traveling, be aware of traffic concerns and when taking the subway may actually be a better option.
A Neighborhood That Goes All Out
Starting in early October, the stoops and brownstones transform into elaborate haunted displays — think cobwebs stretching between buildings, giant inflatable spiders, fog machines, and full-on graveyard scenes. By Halloween night, the streets are a spectacle. Walking through the neighborhood is an experience in itself.
Trick-or-Treating Like Nowhere Else
The blocks between 3rd and 7th Streets, along 5th through 7th Avenues, are the main trick-or-treating zone. Homeowners set up elaborate candy stations, some with themed rooms you walk through. Lines form at the most popular houses. If you have kids (or are just young at heart), carve out time between 4:00 and 6:30 PM for this.
Traffic and Avoiding the Parade
There is a children's Halloween Parade that runs through Park Slope, generally beginning at 6:00 PM. We'll post the times when they're set. The parade runs along 7th Avenue from 14th Street to 3rd Stret and ends at the Old Stone House. As long as you keep cars and humans outside this area, travel should not be affected.
Welcome to Halloween in Park Slope. You're going to love it.
