The Lower East Side Partnership activated Broome Street for the fifth year of Trick-or-Streets. We’re always proud to work with local businesses on the Lower East Side to make our events feel like part of the neighborhood.
On Halloween afternoon, the Lower East Side Partnership welcomed families to Broome Street between Essex and Norfolk for Trick-or-Streets. Now in its fifth year, the NYC DOT program gives neighborhoods across the city a chance to turn their streets and plazas into places to celebrate Halloween together.
Getting Broome Street Ready
We worked with NYC DOT and the City’s Street Activity Permit Office (SAPO) to secure the street closure. We also booked the bounce house, face painters, photo booth, and DJ and secured the permits for each activity.
In the morning, our team set up the barricades and helped vendors get ready. Once the festivities wrapped up, we helped vendors pack up and reopened the street.
Candy, Costumes, and a Taste of Pickle Day
Our team ran the costume contest, giving neighbors a chance to show off their creative and spooky flairs! And for the most important part of any trick-or-treat route, we went straight to Economy Candy for the sweets.
We teamed up with The Pickle Guys for a treat that came with a neighborhood question, too. We’re exploring bringing Pickle Day back to the Lower East Side, and Halloween gave us a chance to hear what neighbors thought. Let's just say, Halloween was a big dill for all of us!
