Festival Customs Activities

Greenwich Village Halloween Parade: Started in 1973 by Mr. Ralph Lee, a mask maker, and puppeteer, it started as a parade with friends and children to a neighbor's house, and slowly evolved into a grand parade. People wear all kinds of costumes and hold simple musical instruments. People are constantly joining in along the way, accompanied by cheerful music, wandering the streets, and the whole process may take several hours. If you're going to join them, be sure to protect your violin, it's a very fragile instrument after all.

Trick Or Treat: Kids carry their beloved jack-o-lanterns and wear weird costumes and go door-to-door with adults for candy. However, now basically children and parents only go to homes with Halloween costumes to ask for them, to avoid disturbing those who are not like the festival. At the same time, it should be noted that the candy given to children cannot be made at home, must be well packaged, and can only be given to children within the shelf life. If you are a parent, you need to help your child check the candy before letting your child eat it.
