6/15 GREEN 2024 FALL FESTIVAL AND PLANT SALE
6/15 Green, a community garden in the South Slope (at the intersection of 6th Avenue and 15th Street in Brooklyn) is hosting its annual Fall Festival and Plant Sale on Saturday, September 28th from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. Join us as we celebrate our 30th Anniversary this year! Festivities start at 10:00 a.m., and include activities for children, live music, and a bake sale.The rain date will be Sunday, 29th (the street closure permit is only for Saturday). A potluck is scheduled to start at 4:00. Some of the activities will take place on 15th Street, which will be closed off from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. The plant sale will take place from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.
6/15 Green's Fall Festival will begin--as it always does--with joyful music for the children. Starting time for the children's show is 10:00 AM. Singer/Music Teacher Laura Wilson, who many remember as a member of the Sparrow Sisters, and currently with Musicolor Method Park Slope will be performing. Brooke Dramer and Eman Rashid will be returning yet again with their mix of Beatles music and folk music for kids; their performance starts at 10:00 a.m. They will be joined by their menagerie of hand puppets: Ringo the Octopus, Puff the Dragon, Augie and Hippolyta Hippo, and enough puppets to go around so that the children will get to join them onstage during the finale. After the concert (11:30), children can sit under a beautiful plum tree for a reading by Melanie Hope Greenberg, author and illustrator.
