Halloween Parade Anyone?

In the beginning of the month we wrote on another one of our blogs about Superstorm Sandy and an event held on behalf of the surviving victims in Herald Square.  Carrying on the tribute, this years NYC Halloween Parade will bare the theme: REVIVAL!

Last year the parade had to be cancelled because of the damage Sandy caused.  So this year it's on.  Since the parade was cut last year there was some serious fundraising to be done in order to get this years going.  And boy were people serious, the parade was able to reach above its goal on Kickstarter because of donations from more than 800 backers and designer Kenneth Cole.

So the parade will commence and with a bigger spirit than ever.  Artistic and Producing Director Jeanne Fleming says "Seeing that much joy on the streets of New York City; it doesn't have any gender.  It's not the gay Pride parade or the Jewish parade or the Puerto Rican parade.  It's not a political parade.  Everybody who's there is there because they want to be.  They're just there to enjoy each other... in their imaginative world."

If you're looking for something exciting to do this Halloween, go be one of over two million people at the NYC Halloween Parade.
