A new Spring Festival is coming to Ridgewood later this month.

On Saturday May 18, City Council Member Robert Holden, in conjunction with the Department of Parks and Recreation, will be transforming Rosemary’s Playground into a celebration of the changing seasons.

From 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., Rosemary’s Playground, located on the corner of Woodward Avenue and Woodbine Street, will be outfitted with inflatable bounce houses, arts and crafts activities, games with prizes, music and more. The family-friendly event will be free to attend.

The festival will have a number of complimentary snacks available, including cotton candy, soft pretzels and popcorn.

Representatives from the FDNY and the Queens Library will be onsite, providing information and handouts about their respective organizations.

Holden began hosting seasonal festival series throughout the district late last year, with several fall festivals held in October and November. His first-ever Spring Festival was held last weekend at Juniper Valley Park.

For more information on the event, call 718-366-3900 or email district30@council.nyc.gov.

Holden calls out Mayor Adams—will he reopen ICE office on Rikers Island and tackle migrant crime?

One day after Mayor Eric Adams expressed his willingness to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration on addressing the migrant crisis and signaled a readiness to meet with former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) head Tom Homan, Council Member Robert Holden called on the mayor to reopen the ICE office on Rikers Island.

Holden, who represents District 30 in Queens, which encompasses Maspeth, Middle Village, and parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, Elmhurst, and Rego Park, has been advocating for changes to the city’s sanctuary policies since July. In a letter, he previously urged the mayor to roll back laws that restrict local law enforcement agencies—including the NYPD, Department of Correction, and Department of Probation—from cooperating with ICE.
