7. Go on a Crypt Crawl at St. John the Divine Cathedral
One of the more spooky Halloween events in NYC this year is a virtual crypt crawl through the lower levels of St. John the Divine. Hear the stories of the entombed, learn the origins of Halloween as a Celtic New Year celebration that later transformed into All Hallows Eve, and creep into the Cathedral’s crypt. This virtual program will give you rarely-granted access to one of the Cathedral’s most exclusive spaces. Tickets are $10/person and can be purchased here. The virtual crawl will take place on Friday October 30th and Saturday, October 31st at multiple times.
St. John the Divine will also partner with the West 111th Street Block Association to present a Haunted Fountain event, a safe, outdoor, physically-distanced family Halloween gathering at the Peace Fountain on 111th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.
