Test your courage at the ‘Fright Night at the Movies’ Haunted House, a popular favorite for the third year in a row! Take photos with Frankenstein, Dracula and characters from Dreamworks’ Puss in Boots after enjoying New York State produce at the greenmarket. Get ghoulishly groovy with live performances from the Kid Rockers, the Big Apple Circus and Traces, acrobatics that mix the circus with the street.
