PARK SLOPE — A few thousand superheroes, villains, anime characters and princesses flocked to Park Slope on Thursday, Oct. 31, for the annual Park Slope Civic Council Children’s Halloween Parade.

Instead of bundling up under their favorite costume, the ghouls and goblins were in for a “spooktacular” treat, enjoying the record-breaking temperatures as they lined up along the parade route, which started at Seventh Avenue and 14th Street, making its way down the Avenue and Third Street to the historic Old Stone House, one of the event’s sponsors. 

Before the parade kicked off at 6:30 p.m., scores of eerie characters swarmed Seventh and Fifth Avenues and the neighborhood, where businesses and brownstone dwellers handed out a never-ending supply of Halloween treats.
