Hey there, adventure seekers! Welcome to Things to Do in New York City. I'm Ollie Bennett, your guide to all things awesome happening in the Big Apple today, Sunday, October 26th, 2025.

What a phenomenal fall day we've got here! The city is absolutely buzzing with Halloween spirit as we're just five days away from the big spooky celebration. New Yorkers are out in full costume force, and the energy is absolutely electric.

Let me tell you what's happening right now that you absolutely cannot miss! First up, if you're a Swiftie or just love incredible pop music, Sabrina Carpenter is performing her Short n Sweet Tour tonight at Madison Square Garden at 7 PM with special guests Olivia Dean and Amber Mark. This is one of five sold-out shows she's doing at The Garden this week, so if you scored tickets, you're in for an unforgettable night!

For families looking for some wholesome Halloween fun, Governors Island is hosting Pumpkin Point from 10 AM to 5 PM today. This is your last chance to grab a free pumpkin, one per person while supplies last. They've got performances by Cara's Caterpillers, music and dance with Hopalong Andrew, and the Billion Oyster Project's Spooky Shells Fall Fest. Plus, there's trick-or-treating and compost learning activities happening all day long.

Speaking of Halloween festivities, IKEA Brooklyn is throwing a spectacular Halloween bash from 11 AM to 2 PM. The first 100 IKEA Family members get a free ghost tote and spatula bundle, plus there's unlimited Swedish candy samples, kids crafting activities, and a scavenger hunt where you can win chocolate bars. Everyone who shows up gets a 15 dollar off 75 dollar coupon just for attending!

If you're more into quirky nightlife, head over to Racket NYC at 6 PM for SHARDS of SKELLY, a unique Halloween-themed performance that promises to be absolutely wild. And for music lovers who appreciate tribute shows, there's Candlelight: Tribute to Bad Bunny at SONY Hall starting at 6:30 PM.

Here's a local tip that'll make you feel like a true New Yorker: with all these Halloween events happening, the subway lines to Governors Island and Coney Island are going to be packed. Give yourself an extra 20 minutes travel time, and consider taking the earlier ferries to avoid the crowds.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, October 27th, you'll want to mark your calendars for an advance screening of PREDATOR: BADLANDS at AMC Empire 25 at 7 PM. It's invitation-only through NYC for FREE, and this sci-fi thriller starring Elle Fanning opens in theaters November 7th.
