Direct answer: for Brooklyn’s Day of the Dead Parade on October 25, 2026, plan an alternative route around the segments listed by NYC DOT. You can check the official advisory and temporary signs before choosing where to park; do not assume an open space permits leaving the car.
Segments listed by NYC DOT
The official advisory lists these closures for October 25, 2026, at NYPD discretion. The event list does not confirm individual closure hours or establish a blanket parking ban throughout the neighborhood.

- 59th Street between 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue
Route
- 5th Avenue between 59th Street and 43rd Street

What to check before parking
Check the NYC DOT traffic advisory before traveling. DOT warns that dates, times and routes may change and that emergency closures may be absent. Check temporary signs and traffic agents’ instructions on arrival. You cannot infer a parking exception from the closure list.
Practical example
If you need to reach Fifth Avenue near the route, check an alternative approach and a passenger drop-off location outside the listed segments. If your chosen space has a temporary restriction, continue to another option to avoid blocked access and lost time.
What the advisory does not confirm
The advisory does not give exact reopening hours, fines, or neighborhood-wide changes to meters or street cleaning. Verify the rules for your space before leaving the vehicle; do not invent a parade exception.
