This weekend in Brooklyn offers a variety of fun activities for everyone to enjoy. From a fresh take on Shakespearean classic at Smith Street Stages to a Farmhouse Family Day at the Wyckoff Museum, there is something for everyone to enjoy. On Friday, September 13th, don’t miss the production of “Richard III” at Smith Street Stages. This modern twist on the Shakespearean classic explores themes of power, leadership, and corruption, with performances by talented actors such as Isis Rosina Bruno and Ara Celia Butler.
On Saturday, September 14th, head over to the Wyckoff Museum for a Farmhouse Family Day. Celebrate the pollinators that keep the farm lush and beautiful with activities like making honey butter and paper flowers. You can also tour the farm, enjoy the outdoors, and check out the farmstand. For some laughs, catch Emmy-award winning comedian Jerrod Carmichael at the Bell House in Gowanus.
On Sunday, September 15th, start your morning at the Merry-Go-Round in Prospect Park Carousel. Join PJ Library for a family-friendly event where kids can ride the carousel, parents can meet other local parents, and everyone can enjoy storytime and family music. If you’re in the mood for some Italian fare and community celebration, head over to Coney Island San Gennaro Festival at Gargiulo’s.
Additionally, celebrate Brooklyn poet Walt Whitman with a community reading of his historic poem “Song of Myself” at the Granite Prospect steps on Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
