Come see the Harlem Meer get spooky!
Celebrate Halloween in Central Park with a family-friendly event full of magic, entertainment, and music, featuring our signature great pumpkin flotilla. Drop off your carved pumpkin with us and head to the picnic area by the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center, 110th Street (Central Park North) between Lenox Avenue and Fifth Avenue, to listen to not-so-spooky stories, enjoy a hair-raising magic show, and adorn your own trick-or-treating bag with Central Park–themed decorations.
Then, find a spot along the edge of the Harlem Meer, dance to some festive tunes (courtesy of our DJ), and watch the jack-o’-lanterns float by. It’s New York’s largest pumpkin flotilla—and it’s not to be missed!
