AI GeneratedTarrytown and Sleepy Hollow are preparing for a massive Halloween parade, expecting over 15,000 spectators. Local officials are warning visitors about significant road closures and parking shortages, urging the public to use public transportation and follow detour signs to ensure a smooth experience during the spooky festivities.
Officials with the parade expect more than 15,000 spectators
to descend on the village this evening,
so don't lose your head like this guy trying to find parking.
Here's what you need to know.
Several streets are already closed for parking,
including North Broadway, between Patriots Park and College Avenue,
and the South Washington Street parking lot.
Other road closures will begin in the afternoon, affecting Main Street
and a portion of both South Washington Street and Broadway.
The parade, which draws a large crowd,
will begin at Patriots Park, traveling south along Broadway
and west along Main Street in Tarrytown.
While festivities kick off later today, attendees are asked to plan
ahead and use public transportation like the Metro North if possible.
I started exploring options, and I actually looked up
to see where would be a great place for a girls' trip
that was super safe and really quaint
and a lot of fun that embraced the spooky season.
And Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown made the list.
We are big fans of Halloween,
so when we saw the festival going on, we knew we had to come.
Officials urge everyone to follow posted detour signs,
expect travel delays,
and leave some time for yourself to make your way here.
And, of course, to have a spooky good time.
I'm in Tarrytown, Westchester County, Lauren DelVal, News 12.
