Halloween Festivities Are A Community Affair In Fort Greene And Clinton Hill (PHOTOS)
Heather Chin -
Whether you love or hate Halloween, you have to admit that here in Fort Greene, it’s a community affair. That’s because it feels like the entire neighborhood is part of the festivities, from children and parents going trick-or-treating to businesses and theater groups with treats and live shows such as Halloween 313. Even dogs get in on the action at the annual Great PUPkin Dog Costume Contest!
This past October 31 was no exception, bringing the haunts and happiness in full force. By now you may have only a few more pieces of candy left to enjoy, but here’s one more look back at the celebration.
