In addition to marking your calendar for the weekend of October 5-7 to see the Encampment project at Roosevelt Island's Southpoint park, remember to include in your calendar Roosevelt Island's Fall for Arts Festival to be held next Saturday, October 6 from 11AM - 5 PM. The festival will feature live performances from an outdoor stage on the Rivercross lawn including dancing, singing, storytelling, comedy, puppetry as well as food and drink.
