NYC DOT turns Open Streets and plazas across all five boroughs into car-free Halloween celebrations with performances, games, and family activities.
What to expect
Trick-or-Streets is not one event in one place. Throughout October, neighborhood organizations host harvest and Halloween programming on streets and plazas closed to traffic.
Five larger signature events anchor the 2026 program in Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx. Dozens of partner events add local block parties, parades, performances, and trick-or-treating across the city.
Good to know

- Signature events take place October 22 in Brooklyn, October 24 on Staten Island, October 25 in Queens, October 28 in Manhattan, and October 31 in the Bronx.
- Partner events have different hours and activities; some are designed around a particular school or neighborhood community.
- Events may be delayed or cancelled because of weather. Check the official list again shortly before you go.
