NYC's Play Fair Brooklyn Turns Bogart House Into a Neighborhood Club Fair on Nov. 15

Play Fair Brooklyn, a club-fair-style community festival, takes over Bogart House in East Williamsburg on Sunday, Nov. 15, from 1 to 5pm. It is built for North Brooklyn residents, with a stated aim of easing the loneliness and isolation of big-city life and putting play back into everyday routines.

More than 20 local communities will be on hand to recruit members, volunteers and supporters. The 20-plus activities are all included in the ticket. On the creative side, expect pottery with Centerpoint Ceramics, beading with Brooklyn Charm, knitting circles, journaling, community drawing and writing and storytelling workshops.

Wellness picks include breathwork with Othership, yoga and HIIT with YO BK, a climbing 101 session with MetroRock and a chance to find a league with Volo Sports. The games table runs from board games and chess to euchre, backgammon, birdwatching and a philosophy club conversation. Volunteer groups include Waggytail Rescue, with dogs up for adoption, and Bushwick Ayuda Mutua. A Brooklyn DJ will play, local vendors will sell food and snacks, and a raffle offers more than $300 in prizes and experiences.

General admission is $30, a group of four is $90 (three paid, one free), teens 13–17 and seniors 65+ pay $15, and kids 12 and under are free. Early bird tickets have sold out. $5 accessibility tickets are reserved for people facing financial barriers; email hello@findplay.co.

Play Fair is organized by a team based in New York and London. The first edition closed Driggs Avenue in July 2025, and a London festival followed in April 2026. For newcomers to the neighborhood or anyone looking for a new hobby and the people who share it, it is an easy way in. The venue is Bogart House, Brooklyn, NY 11206.
