PAST EVENTS:
Second Annual All Hallows Eve Bash

Thank you to everyone who attended the second annual All Hallows Eve Bash, hosted by the Conservancy's Junior Committee! Despite a drizzly day, well over 400 guests enjoyed a great evening of Halloween-inspired cocktails, outrageous costumes, music, and dancing. The event raised over $28,000 to support the work of the Conservancy and free public programming in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
The event was sponsored by One Brooklyn Bridge Park Condominiums, RAL Companies and Affiliates, LLC, and Cumberland Packing Corporation’s Sugar In The Raw®, Stevia In The Raw®, and Agave In The Raw™ brands.
The All Hallows Eve Bash transformed a commercial space in One Brooklyn Bridge Park into a lively costume party with music from Brooklyn Radio's DJ Emch, spectacular lighting and video art from local artist Geoff Matters, delicious cocktails and festive snacks provided by Benchmarc Events. Local photo booth company, Have Booth Will Travel, also took personalized portraits of guests throughout the night. Please visit our Facebook page to see photos from this wonderful event. We look forward to doing it again next year!
