Weekend Events

The Total Red Hook Immersion
This year the Immersion series begins June 8 in a waterfront neighborhood we visited during the 2012 Immersion tour: Red Hook. We’re returning because we can’t resist its charms, and because Red Hook still needs our support, post-Sandy. When The Total Red Hook Immersion begins at noon on Saturday, June 8, Brooklyn Based will distribute up to 500 free Immersion tickets to participants, so that they can redeem beers and deals throughout the day at curated bars, restaurants and shops. To get in on all the deals, the beers, and the show, pick up an immersion card at either Brooklyn Ice House or Rocky Sullivan’s starting at noon. Arrive early – last year all 500 tickets went out in an hour.

P.S. 230 Annual School Fair
The fair this year will include games for children of all ages, a bouncy house and an obstacle course, arts and crafts, henna and face painting, planting, sports games, food, a bake sale, AND new this year, a Health and Wellness Fair that will feature community based and neighborhood health organizations available to families to offer their resources. This Sunday, June 9 from 11 am to 3 pm at the school on Albemarle Road between Dahill and McDonald.

Park Slope Dog Dash
A family- and dog-friendly scavenger hunt around Park Slope, including cupcakes, tea, pottery painting, and more! Sunday, June 9 from 11:45 am to 2:00 pm.
