Boo York

As you may or may not have already known, NYC has a huge Halloween parade every year. This year was the 38th annual parade. Millions of NYC residents, among many others, dress up in remarkably creative costumes and parade through the street. To my knowledge, this parade is somewhat comparable to New Orleans' Mardi Gras, with less bare breasts and booze. The Halloween Parade is largest grass-roots event in the nation. Each year there is a theme. After 9/11 the theme was the Pheonix Rising and after Hurricane Katrina it was the Pheonix Re-Rising. This year the theme was Remembrances of the Dead.

This Halloween Parade gets a lot of media attention because it is the largest parade in the nation, for this holiday. Also, I assume, because New York is the capital of creativity and fashion so I assume native New Yorkers having amazing costumes. This parade has its own website where one can make donation toward the parade's fundraisers. The parade can be watched on TV if you're one of the unlucky one's who cannot make it!
