Introduction:

One of the most sought-after Halloween processions of New York, the Greenwich Village parade is supposed to make a comeback this year. Due to the deadly pandemic, which also saw the cancellation of the mega event of the 2020 Olympics, the NYC Village Halloween Parade also got canceled. The authorities mentioned that the safety of their viewers and participants was of utmost priority to them. Halloween enthusiasts may have missed it last year, but this year it is said to make a bigger and better comeback. The NYC parade is deemed to be the spookiest march in the city, probably one of the best Halloween in New York.

How does The Halloween Parade usually go?

Every year, a congregation of almost fifty thousand ghouls, zombies, witches, robots, monsters, Jedis, vampires, and other creatures of the supernatural and paranormal realm march through the streets of Sixth Avenue, in their elaborate and intricate, sometimes even eerily accurate costumes. The Halloween enthusiasts missed the parade the year before because of the scary pandemic virus. But as the event has received its permit for October 31st this year, the participants have vouched to pull out costumes that shall be even scarier and funkier. 

As per the authorities, gathering funds for the vent became an issue early on. Jeanne Flemming, who is the producing artistic director for the NYC Village Halloween parade, mentioned as early as September that they were facing a dearth of funding, and that could lead to the cancellation of the event yet again. She mentioned in an interview to the New York post- “We don’t have money. We are trying to raise money.” A fundraiser was organized as a means of raising funds but that too proved to be ineffective initially, as not a lot of people donated to it. However, a New York citizen and financial advisor named Jason Feldman came to the rescue. He donated a whopping amount of 150,000 USD to the fundraiser. When interviewed by the Daily News, he mentioned “This is the best medicine for our city.” Jean Flemming, the art director for the event initially expressed her concerns about not being able to raise 150,000 USD by October fifth, which would eventually lead to the cancellation of the event. However, Feldman’s generous donation assured that the event was still on. He said in the interview, “ It is just a fun and free-spirited thing. Everyone gets to be themselves. It’s just a fun and wonderful thing for a lot of people.” surely, Feldman has earned a lot of blessings due to his generous act.
