It’s almost here! The Event of the Year in Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown: The Halloween Parade! If you, your children, or your grandchildren are interested in enjoying the spooky fun, read on!
The Halloween Parade is on October 25 at 5pm
What Residents Need to Know
The Halloween Parade is around the corner. This event has grown exponentially in recent years as more attention has been drawn to Halloween tourism destinations like ours. Our Village’s wonderful creative spirit is on full display, but it is important to make a plan for getting around in order to fully enjoy the event. The parade is scheduled for Saturday, October 25th at 5pm, but preparations begin long before.

RESTRICTED ACCESS

MAKE A PLAN
If you don’t want to get caught in parade traffic, it's a good idea to make a plan to either stay in the Village for the duration of the event (and enjoy the festivities!), or if you plan to leave or must leave the Village, try to delay your return until later in the evening.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS
If you have friends visiting on the day of the parade, please encourage them to park at a neighboring municipality and take the train. Our neighbors have other fun happenings going on the 25th.
