How to Celebrate Halloween in NYC 2021

It’s spooky season once again! As the leaves change color and the temperature drops, New Yorkers and tourists are making their Halloween plans. Whether you’re going all out with your costume or taking it easy this year, it’s still a fun time in the city! Choosing what to do can be overwhelming, so to help you out, we have compiled a list of all the best 2021 Halloween activities.

Pumpkin Flotilla

Bring your jack o’lantern to the Harlem Meer in Central Park. Every year, the pumpkins float on the meer, lighting up Central Park with their fun, exciting designs. Central Park asks that you do not use any unnatural substances, such as paint, on your pumpkin to reduce the risk of pollution. This is a great, family-friendly event! At the end of the display, you can pick your carved pumpkin back up! If you prefer trick-or-treating, you can stop by the Harlem Meer on the 27th to get some candy!

Where: Harlem Meer in Central Park

When: October 28th from 4 to 7pm

Go to a Haunted House

Now, haunted houses aren’t for everyone. It takes a bit of bravery to manage the frightening attractions, but for those willing, we recommend Blood Manor. The themed rooms are sure to scare you. It is not recommended for anyone under the age of 14, and there are no refunds once you enter. This haunted house was featured on the Tonight Show when Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Hart entered to scream their heads off. Enter at your own risk!

When: Thursdays through Sundays from 7pm to 1am (times vary, check out their website for more details)
