Ghosts, goblins, and politics are all part of the beloved annual Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. The creativity and beauty of the costumes never fails to amaze and the marching bands are terrific. This year’s theme was Meow (Cats), reflecting political commentary in this presidential election season.
