Don't Miss the 8th Annual Fort Greene Park Halloween Festival on October 27, 2007

A favorite Fort Greene tradition for children of all ages, this year's Fort Green Park Halloween Festival will take place on Saturday, October 27, 2007 from 12 noon to 3:00 pm.

As in past years, festival-goers will be treated to free hay rides, face painting, pumpkin decorating, games, and treats. Capping off the Halloween Festival is a children's costume parade, which will take place at 2:00 pm with prizes for the best costumes. In addition to the Halloween Festival, the local dog owner's organization, Fort Greene PUPS, will once again hold their popular annual Dog Costume Contest on top of the Fort Greene Park at 12:00 noon.

Local arts organizations supply much of the talent for the Fort Greene Park Halloween Festival's entertainment. For all of its eight years the Halloween Festival has been sponsored and organized by the all-volunteer Fort Greene Park Conservancy. The Conservancy works with local businesses and organizations to help sponsor the festival as well as staff booths and tables allowing them to introduce themselves to the community.

The Conservancy continues in its tradition of reaching out to all Brooklyn, with an array of free events and festivals, such as the 2007 Summer Film Festival and concerts in the park. Last year's Halloween Festival was made possible in part by the generous leadership gifts from Aguayo & Huebener Real Estate, BAM Local Development Corp., Brooklyn Properties, Clermont Armory, the Corcoran Group, and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.
