Weekend Events in Queens — October 19-21

Top Picks of the Weekend

• Halloween Harvest Festival at Socrates Sculpture Park - A premier event for kids in Queens, the fest produces what turn out to be the best Halloween costumes in the neighborhood.

• Sunday in LIC's Art World - Combine opening day of new exhibits at PS 1 with the spectacular-spectacular next door at the Dean Project. Add on open studios, the Macbeth performance at Socrates, and the excellent outdoor show at Socrates (see that crow perfect for Halloween below) , and you've got a full day of art in LIC. (Got too full? Then collapse over to MMI for a Warhol screening.)
