Welcome
Yianni Stamas of Harvest Festival NYC (from "Manhattan Kids Guide") is a consultant and educator from Video Film Web Studios or VFW. VFW, established in 2001, are producers of over 70 community publications and projects including Lights Camera Read, Review Me NYC and the annual Platinum Pias Awards.
Yianni and his wife Alison, residents of Inwood Manhattan, saw a need for a community bridging of a gap between East and West of Broadway in Northern NYC. So they established the Harvest Festival NYC costume parade unifying their neighbors in a fun march that culminated at the local fire station.
Harvest Festival NYC is one of four quarterly neighborhood festival programs including Winter Festival NYC, Springtime NYC and Summer Reading NYC.
"Manhattan Kids Guide" welcomes you to the Harvest Festival NYC, the October annual festival that features the slightly spooky and lots of fun Platinum Pias Awards featuring celebrities, role models and achievers. Also celebrated is the harvest of food, ideas and family in Washington Heights Green and beyond.
Welcome
Organic to MKG means that which is intrinsic. And for some of us, especially those with kids, an intrinsic part of October is Halloween, mostly because it's an excuse to have fun and dress up in costumes.
