The snow put a dampener on the weekends activities, yet today the 31st was full throttle. 4 out of 5 people were dressed up (unfortunately we were the 1 in 5, or should we say 2 in 10?!) and not just kids, adults, dogs, grandparents....everything! Every where you look there was someone dressed up....and no not just with some devil horns, full out costumes, makeup and barely any similar costumes, everyone had been really original, and the kiddies trick or treating were so cute, in the US they trick or treat everywhere, including shops!
UK Halloween usually means a couple of teenagers with a scream mask chucking Eggs at your house, surprisingly NY is bigger and 'badder' but none of this happens here. Again the Americans appearing more courteous than us stuck up Brits!
After classes today at BDC, which involved prizes if you dressed up, watching two tellytubbies doing Hiphop was a treat, we headed down to the Village Halloween Parade. The Biggest event in NYC, closing most of 6th Avenue and thousands of NYPD. We made it there early got some pizza and got front barrier standing room right at the front!
New York's Village Halloween Parade is an annual holiday parade and street pageant presented the night of every Halloween in New York City’s Greenwich Village. Stretching more than a mile, this cultural event draws two million spectators, fifty thousand costumed participants, dancers, artists and circus performers, dozens of floats bearing live bands and other musical and performing acts, and a world-wide television audience of one hundred million.
It was an Amazing Parade, with amazing costumes and characters and an amazing atmosphere! We're preparing ourselves for the next big parade here for Thanksgiving...but in the mean time here are some pictures of our favourite critters from tonight as well as some footage!
Triiiicccckkkk OOOOOORRRR TTTTTrrrreeeat!!!!
