Bronx Halloween Parties, Parades & Events NYC

Halloween Parties in Mott Haven, Port Morris, Longwood, Fordham, University Heights & Other Neighborhoods in the Bronx

MOSTLY DONE _ October 24, 2024 / Belmont Neighborhood Bronx / Bronx Restaurants Little Italy / Bronx Buzz NYC.

Halloween occurs on a Thursday this year. The Bronx Halloween party celebrations begin mid month leading into Halloween weekend running through to Halloween day itself.

Historically the temperatures average about 65 during the day and 50 during the evening around Halloween.

Halloween is one big costume party, where the theatrical side of people, is given a one day opening. Halloween provides people the opportunity to create and play roles they have wanted to play, that is repressed during their daily lives. Will we see the Doctor or the Jekyll side of their personality or something completely out there?

In the photo at right is an actor at ID Theater in Mott Haven who performed in a play which was a part of the 14th annual city-wide, Celebrate Mexico Now in 2017. Professional actors are paid to assume and perform roles, but on Halloween it's an all-volunteer, unpaid, theatrical free-for-all ... but that very chaos of creativity is what makes Halloween in the Bronx [and everywhere else] so much fun.
