storytimeFREEThings to Do with Kids in Gravesend This Weekend
October 24–25, 2026 · 13 events · Brooklyn
Gravesend's weekend lineup leans heavily on the neighborhood's library branches and local dance and movement studios, with most events clustered on Saturday morning. The selection spans free library programming for babies and preschoolers, structured ballet classes by age, and music and dance groups at Avenue X, so families can match an activity to a child's exact age band. Sunday offerings are limited to two ballet and choreography sessions at Avenue X, one for ages 4–8 and one for ages 9–13.
