NEW YORK (WABC) -- "Trick or Streets" makes its spook-tacular return once again to New York City!

At Trick or Streets locations, New Yorkers can expect festive programming, performances, arts and crafts, fitness classes, giveaways, and more.

"With more children expected out on our streets for Halloween, Trick-or-Streets provides a safe way for families to enjoy the holiday and connect with their neighbors," said NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. "Trick-or-Streets is just one example of the ways we're reimagining our streets for people through our Open Streets program."

Events are also planned into November to celebrate the Mexican holiday of Día De Los Muertos, or "Day of the Dead."
