It's October! 


And you know what that means in Washington Market Park: lots of pumpkins, great costumes and a marching band!

11th Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

Saturday, October 25


Pumpkin Drop-off: 3-5pm

Awards Ceremony: 5:30pm

It’s neighbor versus neighbor in this friendly but fierce competition! Our fun, free and festive pumpkin decorating contest has grown into a community favorite.

Bring your own pumpkin to enter, or simply stop by with your family to enjoy the festive display.

We are grateful for our contest sponsor this year: Tribeca Citizen!

Halloween Parade & Party

Sunday, October 26

from 1pm

Wear your favorite costume and join the parade down Greenwich Street to Washington Market Park! This long-standing Tribeca tradition brings the entire neighborhood together and is led by the incomparable The Queer Big Apple Corps.

To join the parade, meet at Beech and Greenwich Streets by 1pm. The parade will march south along Greenwich Street to Washington Market Park, where the music and dancing continues.


This year we'll have one more special treat: 
Live music from the School of Rock House Band, jamming from the park's gazebo!

We are grateful to this year's Halloween parade sponsors!
