Sometimes scary, always adorable..and always on October 31!
One of our favorite neighborhood traditions, Dumboween brings hundreds of costumed Dumbonians out for our Annual March to the Arch through Brooklyn Bridge Park with brass bands + puppets, followed an Archway Party featuring crafts with Creatively Wild Art Studio, a photobooth, and of course, candy!
Plus, trick-or-treat at 50+ Dumbo small businesses around the neighborhood!
