About Our Partnership: Welcome to Chinatown & Gotham Park
Gotham Park sits where the Bowery ends and Park Row begins — the last stretch of open ground before the Brooklyn Bridge, and the first stretch of Chinatown for anyone walking from it.
As a grassroots organization, Gotham Park aims to reactivate forgotten spaces beneath the Brooklyn Bridge by creating a world-class public space that nurtures connection, joy, discovery, and wonder. Welcome to Chinatown’s own work bolsters neighborhood economic resiliency by fostering long-term success for small businesses.
As neighbors sharing the same few blocks, Gotham Park and Welcome to Chinatown have worked to unite the communities we serve from opposite ends and advancing our shared goals around connection, culture, and economic opportunity. Mid-Autumn Festival is where this work will be celebrated this year.
Our Supporters
We’d like to extend a special thanks to NewYork-Presbyterian for supporting the entire weekend-long celebration!
Thanks also to GFP Real Estate, Ultra Mobile, and APID at Squarespace for their support of the festival.
