This Halloween, Central Park will host a festive, family-friendly event on Wednesday, October 30th from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, offering an afternoon filled with magic, music, and the park’s signature Pumpkin Flotilla. The celebration, located near the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center at 110th Street (Central Park North), promises to be a fun-filled experience for New Yorkers of all ages.
Guests are invited to drop off their carved pumpkins and then join in on the Halloween activities. From not-so-spooky stories to a hair-raising magic show, there will be plenty of entertainment to keep families engaged. Kids can also enjoy decorating their own trick-or-treating bags with Central Park-themed designs, adding a creative touch to the day. Afterward, visitors can head to the Harlem Meer, where festive tunes from a DJ will get everyone in the Halloween spirit as they await the floating jack-o’-lanterns.
The highlight of the event, the Great Pumpkin Flotilla, will light up the Harlem Meer as carved pumpkins drift across the water, creating a magical Halloween scene. This event, one of New York’s largest pumpkin flotillas, is free and open to all ages. However, attendees should keep an eye on the weather, as event details may change in the case of inclement conditions. Don’t miss out on this unique Halloween celebration in the heart of Central Park!
