The 161st Street Business Improvement District Celebrates Halloween

 

The 2^nd Annual Halloween Fun in the 161 is this Saturday, October 28

The 161st Street Business Improvement District (BID) will be hosting their 2nd Annual Halloween Fun in the 161 this Saturday, October 28 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 Halloween fun to the district and will once again feature the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, Bubbledad, LeMonde Studio, candy, games and a DJ provided by Assemblymember Latoya Joyner’s office. Halloween Fun in 161 is made possible thought the NYC Department of Transportation’s Open Streets program and NYC Parks. Last year's event drew over 150 families to the district.

“We’re continuing to expand on our Halloween offerings for the 161 BID community," said Trey Jenkins, Executive Director of the 161st Street BID. This year we are bringing back some of our favorites in the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and Bubbledad, but we also have a nice pumpkin photo op/music box with our friends from LeMonde Studio which will be a nice touch to this now annual event.”

LeMonde Studio continues their partnership with the 161st Street BID that began over this past summer with their Big Apple seating activation inside Lou Gehrig Plaza and the Boombox photo op to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop.
