"The garden's grounds will be transformed into a fall fairground. On the Cherry Esplanade, folk performances by Grammy-winning artist Susan McKeown and Brooklyn-based artists Wifetime and Louie Lou Louis. There, guests can eat and drink from their pop-up beer and cider gardens, play games and get their palms read. At the Atrium and Atrium Patio, festivalgoers can visit the Terrain Pumpkin Patch to buy and decorate gourds and pumpkins."
"Brooklyn Botanic Garden President and CEO Adrian Benepe said the festival brings together the best of the season without requiring New Yorkers to trek upstate. "With the Fall Harvest Festival, visitors can celebrate the most anticipated season in the Northeast while they enjoy local beer and cider, live music, a myriad of activities for children and leaf-peeping alongside neighbors and friends," Benepe said."
Brooklyn Botanic Garden will hold a Fall Harvest Festival on Oct. 25 that transforms garden grounds into a fall fairground with family-friendly activities and performances. The Cherry Esplanade features folk performances by Grammy-winning Susan McKeown and Brooklyn artists Wifetime and Louie Lou Louis, plus pop-up beer and cider gardens, games, and palm readings. The Atrium and Atrium Patio host the Terrain Pumpkin Patch for buying and decorating gourds and pumpkins, with a live demonstration by Maniac Pumpkin Carving. Additional attractions include a costume parade led by the Shinbone Alley Stilt Band, chalk art by ChalkArtNYC, traditional dances presented by the Redhawk Native American Arts Council, and Haitian song and dance by Riva Nyro Précil in partnership with the Haitian Cultural Exchange. Guided tours and educational activities focus on seasonal fruits, nuts, Indigenous "Three Sisters" farming traditions, and seed saving.
