Talk about things to do in New York City, this is the largest and most wildly creative public participatory event in the nation (well, maybe aside from Burning Man), so naturally it happens on Halloween in NYC. There will be 53 different bands, hundreds of puppets, artists, dancers, and hundreds of New Yorkers, and visitors, wearing their own costume creations.

For those who just want to watch, you can see it as it happens, on Sixth Avenue, from Spring Street to 16th Street, between 7 and 10:30 PM... and if you’d rather enjoy it from home, or your hotel, you can watch it on WPIX channel 11, from 7:30 to 9.
If you’re able to visit the Big Apple, you will want to see this enormous Party in NYC! It's always best to observe spectacles like this live as they happen. And, boy, will this ever be happening! They even have a website set up with more information at www.halloween-nyc.com.
