Gowanus Harvest Festival - this Saturday 10/11

Josh Guttman | October 10, 2008 

What’s become a bit of an annual tradition now, the Gowanus Harvest Festival will take place this Saturday at our neighborhood’s makeshift outdoor waterfront venue, The Yard. These guys are doing great work in the name of charity.  The events has been somewhat hit or miss though, in the past.  Nice fall outdoor experiences sometimes offset by long lines, expensive beer and poor sound systems, not to mention musicians of questionable talent.  I’m hoping the organizers continue to improve on past events though, because the space has enormous potential.  Official event announcement follows….

Brooklyn! Fall! Brews! Bounty! Yes, its that time of year again. The Yard is once again hosting a day of farm fresh food, live music, local vendors, delicious brews and other triumphs of sustainable urban living. Join us! Last year, over 1,000 people flocked to the banks of the Gowanus Canal. This year, with pony-rides, arts n crafts, pumpkin carving, pie bake-offs, urban chickens, raffle prizes, composting, transportation alternatives, voter education, and tons of surprises… it will be a day to remember. Best of all, proceeds from the Gowanus Harvest Festival will be donated to Just Food.
