The Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Staten Island hosts the 2026 Ocean Breeze Fall Festival on Saturday, October 24, from 10am to 3pm. NYC Parks describes it as one of the area's favorite community traditions, a day that brings families, friends and neighbors together around the season.
The program centers on family-friendly activities: interactive games, music and entertainment, seasonal attractions, and tables from community organizations and local partners. The idea is to walk the grounds, meet the groups that work in the neighborhood and enjoy the sights and sounds of fall.
The Ocean Breeze Pumpkin Patch is the headline attraction. Visitors can pick out a pumpkin to bring home, though pumpkins are available only while supplies last, so the patch can run out before the festival ends.
Admission is free, and the location is listed as accessible. NYC Parks files the event under Arts & Crafts and Halloween, which fits the timing: it falls one week before Halloween.
The festival takes place at the Ocean Breeze Track & Field Athletic Complex, 625 Father Capodanno Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10305. For questions, NYC Parks lists the phone number 718-351-7923.
For readers based in Manhattan or Brooklyn, this is a reason to head out to Staten Island's southeastern shore and see a neighborhood-run fall event, rather than one of the city's better-known pumpkin attractions. The format is simple and local: games, music, community booths and pumpkins, all in a single day outdoors.
