After work I deiced to go to the Halloween Parade downtown (The Village) - the train was packed with people with costumes and mask and crazy things!
I felt like I was in another world! - however, I also notice that some people were wearing stuff that they have in their closet and they wouldn’t wear on a regular occasion other than HALLOWEEN!

Short History of the Village Halloween Parade,

Began in 1973 when a local mask maker organized a walk from house to house in his neighborhood for his children and their friends. After the second year, Theater for the New City stepped in and began producing the event on a larger scale as part of their City in the Streets program. After the third year, the Parade formed itself into a not-for-profit organization, discontinued its association with Theater for the New City and produced the Parade on its own.

Today, the Village Halloween Parade is the largest celebration of its kind in the world and has been picked by Festivals International as “The Best Event in the World” for October 31. The Parade draws more than 50,000 costumed participants and approximately 2 million spectators each year.
