Carroll Park, the leafy block between Smith and Court Streets, turns into a neighborhood bazaar for the Friends of Carroll Park Fall Fair, with tables of crafts, records, books, jewelry, antiques and closet clean-outs from locals. It is the kind of hyperlocal Brooklyn fair where you find a lamp, hear a band and run into half the block. If you want a low-key fall morning of browsing in brownstone Brooklyn, start here.
What to expect
Vendor tables line the paths of the park selling art, housewares, clothing, books, music and collectibles, while live performers play and local community groups staff info booths. Expect families, strollers and neighbors wandering between tables, with Court and Smith Streets' cafes a block away.

- Bring cash; small vendors may not all take cards.
- It is an outdoor park event, so plan for the weather.
- Good for families, with the park's playground on site.
