There certainly were plenty of bouncy houses to choose from at Victory Field on Saturday.
South Queens families were treated to tons of autumn excitement last weekend in Woodhaven at City Councilman Eric Ulrich’s Fall Festival in Victory Field at Forest Park on Saturday; followed by the Wonderful Woodhaven Street Festival, organized by the Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation and the Woodhaven Business Improvement District, on Sunday afternoon.

Can’t have a Fall Festival without a scarecrow!
The celebrations featured rides and games galore, to go along with fall fare, face painting, craft tables, and, of course, a pumpkin patch.

Both events have become a rite of fall for Woodhaven and its neighboring South Queens communities, with Wonderful Woodhaven marking its 44th year taking over Jamaica Avenue between Woodhaven Boulevard and 80th Street.
