Skeleton and pumpkin puppets towered above the crowds as participants danced their way through the neighbourhood, while spectators watched and joined in the festivities.
For many, Halloween is a chance to become someone else for a night and enjoy a sense of freedom.
Reveller Pete Rodriguez said the event allowed everyone to express themselves and show what they liked.
The annual parade remains a popular Halloween tradition in New York, bringing people together to celebrate in costume on the streets of Manhattan.
