What began as a small Trick-or-Treat activity put together by the adults became a growing, popular event for family-friendly trick-or-treat Halloween activities on 39th Street. Since 2014, the West 39th Street CID has hosted a central corridor trick-or-treat event each year. All enjoy the creative costumes with their kids and having a safe location to walk place to place. The CID typically schedules the event as an early evening outing prior to the calendar date of Halloween.   

The 39th Street Community Improvement District has hosted an annual season event every year to encourage the holiday spirit! December activities have included community caroling, winter scene photos, and a visit from Santa to West 39th. We enjoy the holiday festivities, with Christmas lights and for shopping unique gifts at the boutique shops & winter season local dining.
