00:00New York is the city that never sleeps because everyone there knows how to have a good time
00:06and when they do, they do it big.
00:08Case in point, the recent Halloween parade adjudged to be the biggest ever that brought
00:13out the spookiest and most eye-catching characters ever, as VOA's Aaron Reynon reports.
00:22This isn't just any parade.
00:25It's New York City's famous Village Halloween Parade.
00:29Located in NYC's downtown area, the parade winds through the West Village, a historic
00:34center for New York's gay community, where the parade was first established in 1974.
00:39Halloween is my favorite holiday, so this is like my first time coming out to the parade
00:44and seeing everybody dressed up and being as passionate about Halloween as I am, it's
00:49amazing.
00:50It's the best feeling ever.
00:52The parade is famous for its towering puppets, which are brought to life by hundreds of volunteers.
01:01We need all the happiness and celebration right now, so I think everyone's coming together
01:05with a common energy and being like, let's have fun!
01:11More than 50 marching bands and countless individuals join the spontaneous spectacle.
01:17Individual marchers can just show up in costume at the starting point without registering
01:21or paying any fees.
01:23He's actually a lion, he is the cowardly lion.
01:27Very courageous to come out to the parade today, very brave.
01:31And I think right now he's thinking, there's no place like home!
01:36The theme for the 2024 parade is meow.
01:40Organizers invited participants and spectators to embrace their inner cat by dressing in
01:45tails and whiskers, inspired by classic Halloween icons like witches and black cats.
01:52I love Halloween, and the theme was meow!
01:59The Halloween parade is truly for the people, by the people, blending culture, creativity
02:04and spirit.
02:05The New York Times calls it the best entertainment New York City ever gives to itself, and this
02:10year is no exception.
