The Village Halloween Parade: A Celebration of Identity
The Village Halloween Parade, held on October 31, attracts over 2 million people to Sixth Avenue each year, featuring creative costumes, large puppets, and a flash mob of the iconic "Thriller" dance.
While the event has grown in popularity since its inception in 1973, it originated as a space for queer and drag communities to express themselves freely.
- The first parade was a door-to-door walk around Ralph Lee's neighborhood, led by the mask and puppet designer.
- The following year, Lee formalized the event for the Theater for the New City, which has long supported the LGBTQ+ community.
The event is a march of identity exploration and celebration.
Author's summary: The Village Halloween Parade is a celebration of identity and self-expression.
