"Lakeside is so beautiful in the fall and as a designated spooky season lover myself we can't wait to activate it for this upcoming fall season," said special events/marketing manager Jordan Ekstein. "From our pumpkin patch to haunted house we have something for everyone and we can't wait to see you all out there. Plus, stay tuned for Halloween weekend which will not only include our amazing Fall Fest but also our first weekend of ice!"
The forthcoming The Lakeside Fall Festival follows a busy summer at LeFrak Center, including their Glide & Groove series where bands like Jukebox the Ghost, Phoneboy, LSD Clownsystem and The Happy Fits.
