You can still be part of the celebration by purchasing a raffle ticket (or a 6-pack!) to support Fort Greene Park. Every ticket helps us care for the park and puts you in the running for one of three incredible prize bundles.

The Fling is a joyful, community-centered evening with dinner, music, and poetry under the stars. Even if you can’t join in person, your raffle ticket keeps you connected to the spirit of the event and supports the park we all love.

Stay tuned to our newsletter and Instagram for updates on raffle items and more ways to support the park!
