NYC Streets Will Close For 2-Week 'Trick-or-Streets' Event This Month: See When

NEW YORK CITY — The New York City Department of Transportation announced on Monday the fourth annual return of Trick-or-Streets.

Trick-or-Streets will return to Open Streets, pedestrian plazas, and other corridors throughout the city and feature a record high 137 car-free events beginning Oct. 17 through Oct. 31.

This year, Trick-or-Streets will feature Halloween and harvest-themed events. Programming will include live music, fun activities, interactive performances, and more, officials said.

The announcement came alongside the opening of the 29th Street Plaza between Skillman and 47th Avenues in Long Island City, Queens.

“Throughout the month of October, NYC DOT’s fourth annual Trick-or-Streets program will bring seasonal events to plazas and Open Streets, just like 29th Street Plaza, to bring joy, culture, and greater safety for New Yorkers of all ages and abilities to celebrate the Halloween season,” NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said.

In addition to Trick-or-Streets, Día de Muertos will also be a part of this year's festivities, officials said.
