The Park Slope Civic Council organized a Halloween parade that moved along 7th Avenue on Saturday evening. The event centered on a specific visual theme that influenced the costumes worn by participants.
Marchers assembled near 7th Avenue and 14th Street before the procession started at 6:30 p.m. A vintage orange and black Ford led the group down the street. The route turned onto 3rd Street and ended at Old Stone House and Washington Park.
The Brooklyn Conservatory provided live music at the park after the walk concluded. Attendees stayed for the performance to close out the night's festivities.
Participants dressed in costumes that reflected the woodland theme and current events. A group dressed as a family of scarecrows walked alongside a pair of pigeons. One marcher dressed as a headless voter to make a political point.
Other costumes included a figure resembling Miss Piggy and a look-alike of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The Mamdani costume referenced a campaign trail style and included a nod to the Knicks. A separate group re-created Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show, including tall grass props.
