Upcoming: Gowanus Harvest Festival

We've mentioned the Gowanus Harvest Festival before, but now that it's upon us, it's only fit to bring it up again. The festival is taking place on Sunday, October 14, starting at 3PM at The Yard, which is at the Carroll Street Bridge on the Gowanus Canal and is a very pleasant spot to spend time on a nice day. Here's some of the promo verbiage:

Brooklyn! Fall! Brews! Bounty! We love Autumn in the BK so much it hurts… so we’ve teamed up with our favorite organic chef extraordinaire, Kelly Geary of Sweet Deliverance, to bring you the first Gowanus Harvest Festival on October 14th. The fall-themed extravaganza will take place at our favorite Brooklyn spot, The Yard — a lovely little patch of green on the banks of the “gurgling” Gowanus. A day of pony-rides, pumpkin carving contests, local vendors, canoe-rides, fresh produce, live music, and Oktober brews flowing late into the night. Come join us as we pay homage to Fall.
