Harvest Fest + First Skate Weekend at Lakeside!
🍁 Celebrate Fall, Lakeside Style
Fall is here at Lakeside and to celebrate we’re hosting two weekends of fun with our first annual Harvest Festival kicking off October 24 and our first weekend of skating starting November 1! Grab your sweaters, your friends and your family – there’s something for everyone, from pumpkin picking in our Lakeside pumpkin patch, decorating your very own jack-o-lantern, free skating, face painting and dress to impress for our costume contests for kids and your puppy companions!
Enjoy the crisp autumn air, sip on a seasonal warm drink from Duck Island Café, including hot chocolate, hot cider and local favorite, hot Hibiscus Brew, or grab a bite from a menu of rinkside classics including chili hotdogs and sheet pan pizza. Soak in the festive atmosphere surrounded by pumpkins, costumes, and the magic of the first skate of the season. Whether you’re here to glide across the ice, show off your Halloween spirit, or just enjoy a cozy fall day in Prospect Park — Lakeside is the place to be this fall!
Don’t forget to tag us @lakesideprospectpark in your photos and #LakesideBrooklyn and #ProspectPark — we can’t wait to see your fall fun!
Plus, enjoy a full season of ice skating with daily skate sessions, and lessons and leagues for all ages and skill levels. Visit prospectpark.org/lakeside for more information and to register today!
