Organizers say usually a harvest festival is held this time of year, but they had to make some changes due to COVID.
“We wanted to do something that brought a lot of joy to everyone and brought the neighborhood together,” Elizabeth Street Garden Executive Director Joseph Reiver said. “I think everyone needed this. I think everyone needed to have that happiness and have the dogs come out in their costumes.”
There were also some early trick-or-treaters out in Forest Hills, Queens.
