Forest Park’s Victory Field was a sea of families Saturday afternoon, when Councilman Eric Ulrich and the city Parks Department sponsored the annual Fall Harvest Festival that drew thousands of people from throughout the borough for an afternoon of games, face painting and live entertainment.
The festivities in Woodhaven lasted from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and included a pumpkin patch, numerous activities for children and families – from a giant-sized chess board to inflatable rides, performances by a theater troupe, a puppet show, a cooking demonstration, and more.
“This is a great way to kick off fall – and Halloween,” Ulrich told a large crowd gathered to watch a puppet show by the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater, a group based in Central Park.
