A sign of autumn, Cranberry Street Fair returns to Brooklyn Heights
For 35 years, neighbors in north Brooklyn Heights have been putting together what has been called one of the “sweetest” little street fairs in Brooklyn.
On Saturday, locals once again celebrated the coming of autumn with a day of homegrown activities at the Cranberry Street Fair. Generations came out to guess the cranberries, get a belly-dancing lesson, climb on the fire engine, browse the books and treasures, parade their pets and have their fortunes told, all in the shade of the tall oak trees that line the block.
Jazz performer Eric Loffswold and The Manhattan Tribal Belly Dancers entertained. In earlier days the street was closed off for square dancing.
