Halloween 2025: Porch Pride Lights Up American Cities
Halloween 2025 saw American cities, particularly New York City and Miami, outdo themselves with elaborate street decorations, capturing the spirit of the season and sparking friendly competition among neighbors. Porch pride, as it's known, transformed neighborhoods into imaginative stages, with homeowners adding new details to their displays each night.
New York City's Village Halloween Parade, with over 50,000 participants, and Miami's Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights were among the highlights. Themed events throughout New York City and the official Halloween block party at Wynwood Marketplace in Miami offered creative decorations and immersive experiences. Neighborhoods across the country joined in, with homeowners adding new details to their displays each night.
Social media platforms amplified this porch pride, showcasing elaborate displays and connecting communities beyond the neighborhood level. Families walked the block together, sharing stories, and neighborhoods raised funds for charities. The New York Times highlighted the best decorations for 2025, including the WiZ 60-W A19 Color LED smart bulb and porcelain Ghost Light lanterns from Studio Arhoj. Despite the prevalence of innovative designs, traditional elements like glowing pumpkins and celebrity scarecrows remained popular.
Decorating homes and yards is a deeply ingrained tradition in American culture, with over 70% of U.S. consumers planning to celebrate Halloween in 2024. The legacy of porch pride lies in the community spirit it generates, bringing people together and creating lasting connections. As Halloween 2025 demonstrated, the playful spirit of the season continues to inspire creativity and unity among neighbors.
