Dozens of residents in East New York are celebrating the season with a "Fall Harvest Market."

Event officials say the market, located at Mott Hall Bridges Academy, was created to promote community development. The goal is to help empower those who are starting their own company, and give them an opportunity to test the waters first.

The festival also aims to help students in East New York get closer to their community.

This marks the first time the middle school has hosted the market.
