NEW YORK — New York City’s “Trick-or-Streets” initiative will return after a successful launch last year, the mayor’s office announced Wednesday.
The initiative, which helps New Yorkers celebrate Halloween festivities outdoors by expanding access to car-free pedestrian spaces in all five boroughs, begins Saturday. The city will host Halloween programming throughout the month at 15 locations.
“‘Trick-or-Streets’ was a hit last year and we’re excited to bring it back so New York City youth can enjoy Halloween safely,” Adams said. “Our administration has been relentless in our efforts to be creative in maximizing and utilizing the city’s public space, allowing communities to come together like never before. “We encourage anyone interested in hosting a ‘Trick or Street’ event to apply to join the program, and we look forward to working with you to deliver the safest and most fun Halloween the city has ever seen.”
Last year, the Department of Transportation (DOT) closed nearly 100 open streets, plazas and other corridors overnight so New Yorkers could enjoy a safe, car-free trick-or-treating experience. However, this time the city will host special performances and festivities.
“After a remarkably successful inaugural ‘Trick-or-Streets’ last Halloween, we are proud to bring this event back this year with even more Halloween spirit. “Open Streets has led to many great programs, ranging from the transition of temporary open spaces to permanent plazas, to bicycle boulevards and now to the annual Halloween tradition of ‘Trick-or-Streets,'” said DOT Commissioner , Ydanis Rodríguez.
