Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn Heights pulled out all the stops this past Sunday at its 2014 Pumpkin Patch Fall Festival.

Joralemon Street was filled with bouncy rides, while parent volunteers stocked the garden with carnival games, treats and crafts. Inside, two spooky haunted houses thrilled youngsters, and artists created monster makeovers. Middle-schoolers competed in the annual dodgeball tournament, with each grade fielding its own team.

The event, a neighborhood tradition, raises tens of thousands of dollars for Packer.
