Festival Information: The inaugural “Harvest Arts Festival in the Gardens” will take place during the first weekend of October in 24 community gardens on NYC’s Lower East Side. For the first time ever, these community gardens will be unified through art, hosting music, dance, performance, visual art, workshops and activities. The Festival is free and open to all. As a neighborhood-centric event, the “Harvest Arts Festival in the Gardens” will be fun, educational, entertaining, and imaginative.

Garden Information: The Firemen’s Garden on East Eighth Street between Avenues C and D honors the memory of all New York City firefighters who were killed in the line of duty. The site pays homage in particular to the memory of Martin R. Celic (1952-1977), a young member of Ladder Company 18 who lost his life fighting a fire in the tenement that once stood here.
