Calling all princes and princesses, heroes and villains, witches and wizards! Join Town Square for our popular Greenpoint Children's Halloween Parade, Spooktacular Party, and Zombie Nerf War.
The FREE Greenpoint Children's Halloween Parade will be led by the stupendously talented NYPD Police Band (yay!). Everyone will step off around 12 Noon in front of 176 Java Street (btw Manhattan Ave & McGuinness Blvd). Costumed kids of all ages will march down Manhattan Avenue to Norman Avenue and back to Java St for a Spooktacular Party.
The ticketed Spooktacular Party is at 176 Java St, with timed sessions starting at 10 AM and continuing on the hour through 3 PM. We'll stop for the parade between 12 Noon and 1 PM. You'll pick the 50-minute session of your choice when purchasing your ticket. Don't be surprised when we shoo you out 10 minutes before the next hour to make room for the next set of little party-goers.
And yes! The ticketed Zombie Nerf War is back this year! Timed sessions at 4 PM and 5 PM. Don't bring your own nerf gear. We'll have you covered.

What's happening at the Spooktacular Party? Arts & crafts, carnival games, party games, a bouncy house for little ones and more! You'll also rock to live music. The NYPD Police Band will perform during the 1 PM session. Anna Banana will perform during the other party sessions. A native of New Jersey but a Brooklynite at heart, Anna Banana performs her original and family-friendly songs throughout the East Coast. She shares her love of upbeat songs with her guitar and unique voice. So if you are ready to sing along and dance, come watch her perform at your local community event, like our Halloween Spooktacular Party!
