Trick-or-Streets

Trick-or-Streets returns for a third season in 2024! NYC DOT partners with Open Streets, plazas, and other corridors in October and on Halloween to add pedestrian space during one of the busiest nights of the year.

This month NYC DOT will host more than 100 car-free events across all five boroughs. Our 10 signature events will take place throughout the month of October leading up to Halloween. These premier locations include Halloween-themed programming and performances. Programming will include live music, circus acts, comedic clown performances, jugglers, and more.

Dia de Muertos event in Times Square featuring colorful artwork of a couple in calavera face paint. Saturday, November 2, 4-9 PM.

Día de Muertos is an annual event hosted by NYC DOT and the Mayor’s Office of Immigration Affairs (MOIA). As part of NYC DOT’s Open Streets program, this event is one of many taking place in October as part of the agency’s Trick-or-Streets celebration.

As the largest cultural event held in Times Square, Día de Muertos showcases weeklong installations of traditional Catrinas along with altars honoring those who have passed away and a robust musical performance program to end the celebration on November 2.

Sign up for the Public Realm newsletter for updates on Trick-or-Streets and more.

NYC coordinates with local partners and other city agencies to make car-free spaces possible. Thanks to the NYC Street Activity Permit Office (SAPO), NYPD, and so many others.
