The 161st Street Business Improvement District (BID) will be hosting their very first Halloween event this Saturday, October 29 at Joyce Kilmer Park and the Grand Concourse Service Road from 11 am to 3 pm. The event “Halloween Fun in the 161” aims to bring families and the community together to bring some free Halloween fun to the district and will feature the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, Bubbledad, Street Lab, candy, games and a DJ provided by Assemblywoman Latoya Joyner’s office.
“Halloween personally is a big deal to me, mostly because of my wife who really got me into it over the years,” said Trey Jenkins, Executive Director of the 161st Street BID. “This Halloween is the first time our BID has done something like this, partnering with local officials and bringing the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus to the area for a Halloween show. Events like these are another layer of what our BID is striving to do for the community moving forward.”
Halloween Fun in the 161 is the third event this month with Bindlestiff Family Cirkus as there were pop-up circus events on October 15 and 22 featuring circus acts, magician Kid Ace and stilt walker Ali Luminescent. The pop-up and Halloween events were made possible through the NYC Department of Transportation’s Open Streets program. For the Halloween event, Bindlestiff Family Cirkus will bring out their Flatbed Follies for a full circus act starting at 1 pm.
