Trick Or Tribeca

We are squarely in the spooky season and Lower Manhattan never disappoints! From the Halloween Bash at Brookfield Place to the costume parade down Greenwich Street to trick or treating retailer to retailer, Halloween is always a blast downtown. 

If you’re trying to max out on the fun, here’s a quick list of some of our favorite events happening down here!

Halloween Bash at Brookfield Place: Brookfield Place is welcoming back their party-of-the-year on Saturday October 28 from 12-3pm. When we had a shop there, this was hands down our favorite afternoon. It’s chock full of spooky fun – from the Dancewave BOO-gie with DJ Ben the Beyonder; Big and Tiny’s spooky arts & crafts, Math Spooky House courtesy of the Russian School of Mathematics; Crazy Science’s Liquid Nitrogen Discovery, Costume Catwalk, movie screenings (Trick or Treat Scooby Doo! And Mickey’s House of Villans), and so much more! Check it out here. Halloween Bash - Brookfield Place New York | BFPL (bfplny.com)
