It takes place on September 21, and it's a fundraiser with tickets for adults costing $25 in advance and $40 at the door. (Kids under 12 get in free.) Tickets available online or call 212-868-4444.

The party happens on Thursday, September 21st from 6 to 9 PM and there will be live music and all-you-can-eat BBQ from Schnack, entertainment for children, a silent auction of art and yoga memberships and a raffle.

The party is happening at 165 2nd Street at the Gowanus, off Bond Street. And it will include--what else?--candlelight canoe trips on the South Brooklyn Seine.

Be there.
