High Line Halloween: Ghostly Gardens

Join the free spooky fun at High Line Halloween! Inspired by past Halloween events at the park, this festive, family-friendly celebration promises thrills and chills for all ages. Encounter lively musical performances and spooky sculptures made from High Line dried plants, and enjoy storytelling, larger-than-life carnival games, art activities, a photo booth, and special treats. Dress up in your favorite costume, or let us help you transform with creative face painting.

High Line Halloween is produced by artist and High Line Educator Greg Corbino, the inventive mind behind the famous Spooktacular! at the Queens Museum from 2015 – 2020.

Seasonal food and drinks will also be available for purchase from your favorite High Line food vendors.

In the case of inclement weather, the event will be moved to the rain date of October 27, 2024. Eventbrite registrants will be notified via email and we will post an update on our website and @highlinenyc’s X feed.
