Back to school. Cooler temperatures. Brooklyn is no longer a ghost town on the weekends… we’re here and there are things to do! We’ve gathered a list of activities from the very local puppet show and story times to a special Hootenanny 10 Year Anniversary Celebration… to the best apple picking around NYC. So, as we wave a sad goodbye to those warm summer days let’s embrace the beautiful Fall and all of the fun we’ll have with our families! Sugar donuts and apple cider? Yes please!


September 24th:  Hootenanny Art House 10 Year Celebration at the Bellhouse, 10:30am: Sing, dance, make art, eat an enormous cake and watch an epic slide show of 10 years and celebrate!!!! Music with Pete Sinjin and friends, sing-along is all ages and kids under 1 are free. Get your tickets here:  https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1530798

September 2nd:  Zen Zoo Kids Yoga at the Boathouse in Prospect Park, 11am:  This is the last day of the recurring event, so don’t miss out! Experienced yoga instructor Kat Janicka will lead these animal-themed classes in Prospect Park’s Boathouse. Asanas will be based in animal forms and shapes, and we will ommmm the sounds of the creatures in the wild. Class will be based on mindfulness, breath meditation, basic breath exercises for kids, visualization and laughter. Bring your own mat.
