Looking for a fun way to celebrate Halloween in the Bronx? NYC DOT’s annual Trick-or-Streets program is bringing Halloween and fall-themed activities to car-free streets, plazas, schools and neighborhood spaces throughout October.
Now in its fifth year, Trick-or-Streets turns Open Streets and other public spaces into places for families to gather, with programming that can include trick-or-treating, games, creative activities, live entertainment, interactive performances and more. NYC DOT says there will be 160 participating car-free spaces across the five boroughs this year.
And there are plenty of ways to celebrate right here in the Bronx.
