Things To Do in NYC in October 2022 include the Panamanian Parade, Hispanic Day Parade, Italian Day Parade, Indigenous Parade, Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade, Jackson Heights Halloween Parade, and the Village Halloween Parade.
October is one of our favorite months because New York is in full swing, the weather is mild, and the fall colors appear. Fall color is late this year (last half of October, instead of late September/early October) and not expected to be good because of heat and drought.
The October holiday is the controversial Indigenous Peoples Day / Italian Heritage Day (formerly Columbus Day). Hispanic Heritage Month ends mid-month. Day of the Dead is in November, but preparations begin on Halloween.
Spain has a national day.
October in New York City is peak fall. Average temperatures range from 50° to 64°F, so it is cool.
Look back at October 2021.
