WELCOME!

UPDATE:  November 1, 2012  1:45 pm

We are waiting for the Mayor to tell us if the Parade can be rescheduled.  As soon as we know, we will let you know!

Thank you for the tens of thousands of emails telling us how much you love the Parade!  We love all of you right back!

 

October 31, 2012    7:00 pm.

ALERT!!!  At this moment, when the Parade would be about to begin,  we feel great sadness for the all the joy that will be missed and for the devastation that has come to our beloved City. 

For the first time in our 39 year history, the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management and the NYPD have CANCELLED the Parade. 

We hope that everyone who would have come to the Parade is safe and that those who can volunteer to help out at one of the  Emergency Outreach Centers near you.

We will surely miss all of you! 

Hallelujah Halloween!

Jeanne Fleming, Artistic and Producing Director
