A warm All Hallow’s Eve greeted those making the 46th annual march up 6th Avenue.
Skeletons pranced, bobbing and weaving, maskers danced to brass band rhythms delighting little viewers along the curb in wonder of frightful clowns.
Salsa drums announced brightly colored feathers’ swaying dance as waves of costume protested the next year’s hopes.
With each brass sounding thousands of revelers into the night’s adventure, the annual procession to mask, to be yourself, thousands cheered in awe up the Ave of the Americas.
A wonderful time had by all!
