We are super excited for Halloween this year, especially with all of the fun events going on around NYC to get us into the spirit before the 31st. One event that my kids and I are really excited to check out is trick-or-treating at Lincoln Center.
Hosted by the LC Kids program, the all-ages event will feature trick-or-treating around the cultural campus, a parade to live music, a haunted scavenger hunt, a David Bowie tribute concert and dance party, and a number of additional free activities to delight all ages. Last year’s inaugural Trick-or-Treat event welcomed more than 10,000 people to Lincoln Center, marking it as a destination for families and children of all ages to celebrate Halloween.
