The Destination Ditmars Merchants Association is thrilled to host our 4th Annual Halloween Parade & Block Party on Saturday, October 26, 2025. Every year, this family-friendly tradition brings together 800+ families from across Astoria for a day filled with costumes, candy, music, and community spirit.

The fun kicks off with our Family Parade down Ditmars Boulevard, ending at Rivercrest. Then the street transforms into a lively, safe, and festive space for our all-day Block Party... complete with activities, entertainment, and plenty of treats for kids (and grown-ups too!).

This year, we want to make the celebration bigger than ever, with more goodie bags, more entertainment, and more joy for our neighbors. But we can’t do it without your support!

💜 How you can help:

Sponsor tiers (Platinum, Gold, Silver) give local businesses premium visibility and community recognition. See tier details below.
Community contributions (any amount helps!) directly fund candy, decorations, entertainment, and family activities.

Your gift, whether $5 or $500, makes a real difference in creating a magical Halloween for hundreds of families right here in Ditmars.

DDMA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so all contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Join us in making this Halloween unforgettable. Together, we’ll keep the spirit of community alive...costumes, candy, and all! 🎃👻🍬
