Park Slope Halloween Parade cancelled, while Village Parade awaits "mayor's decision"

UPDATE: The Village Halloween Parade is now cancelled too.

As mentioned earlier today, the famous, annual Village Halloween Parade seems determined to happen, but is “awaiting the Mayor’s Decision…”. Meanwhile, the less famous, more family oriented parade that happens in Park Slope each year (it starts right near the currently damaged Bar 4), is officially not happening…

NYPD and NYC Department of Sanitation are focusing on clean-up and safety efforts, post Hurricane Sandy. Therefore, the annual Park Slope Civic Council Halloween Parade will be cancelled this year. The parade WILL NOT be rescheduled.

Best wishes for your safety during the post storm clean-up, and we’ll hope for better luck with the weather next year.

Oh well. More pictures like the above, by Chris La Putt, HERE.
