BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — A pumpkin patch, spooky playhouses, dance parties, craft demonstrations, portraits, Double Dutch, music and more delighted visitors to Montague Street’s “SPOOK-tacular” Open Streets celebration on Saturday — the first rain-free Saturday in weeks. 

Adding to the holiday excitement, merchants along the street posted trick-or-treat stickers in their windows, inviting kids in for some pre-Halloween candy. 

Saturday Open Streets events are sponsored by the Montague BID and the Brooklyn Heights Association.
