For the first time, New York City’s iconic Village Halloween Parade is featuring a VIP section, accessible by advance-purchase ticket, led by grand marshal Machine Dazzle.
The 45th annual parade is themed, “I Am a Robot!”
The VIP advance ticket is available to purchase on EventBrite for $25. Ticketholders will avoid lines with access to a secret entry point for early admission, enjoy a special DJ and soundtrack for an in-parade party, and get the chance to meet other wildly creative Halloween fanatics from New York City and around the world.
Robot costumes are required to march in the Special VIP Robot Section.
“Grand Marshal Machine Dazzle will lead the Special VIP Robot Section of the 45th Annual Village Halloween Parade, calling upon Halloween makers and marchers to join in our positronic collective, expressing our inner cyborgs for an evening of robotic revelry,” said Jeanne Fleming, artistic/producing director of New York’s Halloween Parade. “We are thrilled to invite the public to join our first ever special VIP section. With artificial intelligences learning, adapting, interpreting and reacting as humans do, the times we live in can be overwhelming. This traditional and beloved event aspires to bring folks into their creative imagination — celebrating that quality that differentiates us from robots — and by extension make the world a better place. We as New Yorkers and those visiting the Big Apple can come together, affirm our identity, block out the distractions, focus on joy and inhabit the streets of New York LIVE.”
The legendary Village Halloween Parade has entertained the public on Halloween night for the past 44 years, on 6th Ave. north of Spring Street to 16th St., on Oct. 31 from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
The Special VIP Robot Section will line up for the parade at 6 p.m. at a secret location to be announced closer to the event. For more information on the Parade, visit https://www.halloween-nyc.com/.
