This year’s Halloween came just eight days before Election Day in the US, so it’s no surprise that many of the revelers at New York’s Village Halloween Parade were dressed in politically-themed costumes. Recognized as the world’s largest Halloween parade, the carnival-like event has long been a showcase for artistic and political expression where just about anything goes - it’s certainly not geared toward children.
Bruce Gilden spent time at the 2016 parade photographing some of the “Hillarys” and “Donalds” in attendance.
