The annual CalabazaFest Sunday combined multiple Halloween traditions during its celebration at the Riseboro Youth Center in Bushwick.

The event celebrated Halloween, the Day of the Dead and the Harvest Festival.

ClabazaFest featured live music, a costume contest for children and pumpkin carving.

Organizers say it has been amazing for them to see the event evolve from a party at the end of the farmers market season to a beloved community-wide gathering.
