The last Open Streets Montague of 2024, this Sunday, October 27 from 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM, will, appropriate to the impending Halloween, feature a “Spooktacular” presented by Montague Diner, which will be serving warm drinks and Halloween treats all day long. Among the activities will be a dog costume contest, face and pumpkin painting, a sing along, and a spooky reading presented by Books Are Magic. There’s a full schedule and more information here. Another Halloween related activity will be presented by Brett McMullen, A.I.A. of McMullen Architecture, who will be on Montague between Henry and Hicks from noon until 5:00 and help those of all ages to design and build a haunted house. Photo and more information here. Thanks to the Brooklyn Women’s Exchange, 137 Montague, between Clinton and Henry, from noon until 5:00 you can meet Dennis J, Taylor, “a talented woodcarving artisan who handcrafts unique figurines.” More information here. As they have throughout the season, Chama Mama will have a free lemonade stand, with tasty morsels of cheese bread, between Henry and Hicks from noon until 4:00.
Last but certainly not least, a “bloodmobile” will be in front of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, 157 Montague (near the corner of Clinton) from 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM. New York City is having a “blood shortage emergency.” All blood types are needed, but type “O” donors, whose blood is in especially short supply, will be given rewards. If you want to donate, please register here; there’s more information here.
Montague Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between Clinton and Henry streets and between Henry and Hicks streets from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Sunday. Parked cars on those blocks will have to be moved before 10:00 AM.
