UPDATE: Spooky Shenanigans on the Gowanus Canal - Halloween Parade
2025-10-31 18:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club Boathouse, 165 2nd St, Brooklyn, NY, 11231, United States
Shenanigans will be on-shore tonight as a result of yesterday’s storm.
Hello Intrepid Gowanus Paddler,
We have a different kind of “Boo!” for this Halloween afternoon. Unfortunately, yesterday’s massive rainstorm — and the subsequent discharge of sewage into the Canal — and today’s extreme wind conditions mean that we are offically deciding that today’s conditions are TOO SCARY to host on-water shenanigans tonight.
The good news is: The Ukulele Cabaret and Gowanus Dredgers music community friends will still be hosting a fantastic show at the Boathouse at 7pm.
We’d also still love to see you in your Gowanusy costume for some shore-side fun. We’ll set up some DIY photo booth fun and games for those who want to come by anytime after 5pm. Help decorate the boathouse, hang out with friends, and crack open a seltzer or a beer to close out the week and the 2025 paddling season.
Last note: Tomorrow, we’ll be rolling up our sleeves all day at the Bunker for a season send off and work day. Join us to help with season-end chores, some fun painting projects, beginner-friendly dock maintenance, and maybe a sunset fire pit after the work is done. We’re scheduled to be out there between 10am and 4pm.
