Kick off your Halloween at the Whitney! Come in costume for a day of art, music, and dancing before heading out to trick-or-treat. Explore the galleries, create your own works of art inspired by Roy Lichtenstein: Like New, and shake your booties at a Family Halloween Dance Party. Show off your costume on the dance floor and enjoy a few fun surprises along the way!

Halloween at the Whitney is an inclusive and safe celebration for all. In that spirit, we do not permit costumes that perpetuate cultural appropriation, discrimination, or violence of any kind, including fake weapons. We invite you to be inspired by the works in our collection and check out the #IAmNotACostume campaign to learn more about choosing a respectful costume.
