The 51st Annual Village Halloween Parade took place in New York's West Village, marching down Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, New York. This year’s theme, “Meow,” invited participants to embrace all things feline, showcasing a wide array of cat-inspired costumes. Live music and performances added to the festive atmosphere. This year, the parade took on a political tone just days before the presidential elections, with costumes caricaturing Republican candidate Donald Trump.
