It's a giant puppet, glowing from the inside, with people underneath holding it up on long poles. This is the Village Halloween Parade, where huge puppets, wild costumes, and thousands of dancing marchers fill the streets of a neighborhood called Greenwich Village. Can you imagine walking beside a skeleton as tall as a two-story building?  \nThat towering skeleton got its start with one man and a much smaller idea.  \nBack in 1974, a puppet maker named Ralph Lee gathered his children, friends, and neighbors and led a walk through Greenwich Village on Halloween. He carried puppets he had built by hand, stopping at friends' homes along the way. What began as a little family stroll would grow into one of the biggest Halloween events in the whole country.  \nFrom that first small walk, the parade kept getting bigger and bolder every year. Today, tens of thousands of costumed marchers join in, and huge crowds line the sidewalks to watch them pass. The giant puppets are still the stars, swaying above the crowd on poles held by teams of people working together. Some are built fresh each year around a brand-new theme, so no two parades ever look exactly the same.  \nThose puppets may steal the show, but the costumes make the parade feel like it belongs to everyone. Here is the best part: anyone wearing a costume is allowed to march, which almost no other big parade lets you do. You don't need a special ticket or a marching band to be part of it, just an outfit and the nerve to step in. That open rule is why the parade feels less like a show you watch and more like a party you join.  \nBecause everyone can march, the parade has become a true community celebration built by the people in it. Artists, families, and total strangers walk side by side, some in glittering wings and others as dragons or robots. The parade takes place every year on Halloween night, October 31st, rain or shine. And to think it all began with one puppet maker who simply wanted to share a walk with his kids!  \nA Parade of Giant Puppets  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the Village Halloween Parade described as in the first paragraph?\u003Cbr>A.
