Yes, October. Time for the fall bounty and harvest festivals. This one is taking place at The Yard in Gowanus on Saturday, October 11 and it’s the Second Annual Gowanus Harvest Festival. Here’s a bit from an email:

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.

The fest runs from 11AM-9PM. Tickets are $12 and kids under 5 get in for free. The Yard is located on the bucolic Gowanus Canal, on Carroll St between Bond and Nevins. More info here.
