Little Monsters, Big City: A Flatbush Creature Hunt

This October, join Jess Joseph, in collaboration with MAS and NYC DOT, for a walk and scavenger hunt. This will be a playful, family-friendly Halloween walk exploring the creatures that share our streets, from pigeons and squirrels to spiders, insects, and other tiny urban residents. Through a scavenger hunt, participants will look for signs of urban wildlife and learn how these creatures survive in the city.

The walk route will visit Hillel Plaza.

This event is a part of the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT)’s annual Trick-or-Streets festival, which transforms Open Streets, Plazas, and other corridors into engaging, pedestrian-friendly destinations with harvest and Halloween-themed activities. Programming includes interactive performances, fun activities, live entertainment, walking tours, and more. All events are free and open to the public. Learn more about the festival and the full list of programs.

The NYC DOT is committed to meeting accessibility needs whenever possible. If you require an ASL interpreter and/or language interpretation for the walking tour, please submit your request in advance through events@mas.org by Monday, October 19.
