NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- 'Trick-or-Streets' is making a "spook-tacular" return!
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez announced on Wednesday the return and expansion of the program, following its successful launch last year.
Throughout the month of October, the city will activate Open Streets, plazas and other corridors to celebrate Halloween and give people access to safe, care-free pedestrian space.
"'Trick-or-Streets' was a hit last year, and we're excited to bring it back so New York City youth can safely enjoy Halloween," Mayor Adams said. "Our administration has been relentless in our efforts to be creative in maximizing and utilizing the city's public space, allowing communities to come together in ways they never could before.
This year, the city will host festive Halloween events throughout the month at 15 locations across the five boroughs.
The initial set of "Trick or Streets" premier events will take place at the following times and locations:
