What started out as a walk from house to house in the neighborhood for friends and family by a mask maker and puppeteer in 1973, is today the largest celebration of its kind in the world, and one of New York’s most colorful annual parties. Listed as one of the ‘Top 100 Things to do Before you Die’, the lively event attracts millions of spectators and participants every year who take part in a parade featuring huge papier-mâché puppets, jugglers, stilt-walkers, bands and dancers, and plenty of outrageous costumes.
