About
Montague Street goes car-free for a free back-to-school block party — obstacle course, crafts, storytimes and a dance party pitched at the 0–12 set.
Montague Street goes car-free for the first of seven fall Sundays, and Brooklyn Bridge Parents throws its annual back-to-school bash across the open blocks from Clinton to Hicks. Expect dozens of free kids' activities — an obstacle course, crafts, games, and building stations — plus storytimes with The Storied Forest and a Hype Dance dance party. It's Brooklyn Heights at its most neighborly, with the Promenade waiting at the end of the street.
What to expect
Four hours of free drop-in activities down the middle of a car-free street: an obstacle course, craft and building stations, and games aimed at ages 0–12. Scheduled moments include storytimes at 12:15 and 2:30 PM and a dance party at 1:30 PM, with Montague's restaurants and shops open on both sides the whole way.
