Fall festivities brought a lively celebration to Queens on Saturday, Oct. 19, as Council Member Joann Ariola and the Detective Brian “Smiles” Simonsen Foundation hosted a family-friendly event at Victory Field in Woodhaven.
The afternoon was packed with games, music and seasonal treats, drawing both children and their parents to enjoy the festive atmosphere. Victory Field was transformed into a bustling fairground featuring a variety of stands and inflatable rides.
A popular highlight was the friendly dance competition held at the DJ booth, which had kids showing off their best moves to the cheers of an enthusiastic crowd.
