The Montclair Cooperative School, 65 Chestnut Street in Montclair, will host the Forest Street Festival on Saturday, Oct. 21 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (rain date October 22).

The festival will take place on Forest Street between Chestnut Street and Sylvan Place and on the campus of Montclair Cooperative School.

A selection of crafters will be showcasing their specialties throughout the day. Guests can participate in yoga classes for both adults and children, and a full musical lineup is planned. The event will include food from Ruthie’s BBQ & Pizza and Mary’s Happy Camper.

Activities for younger attendees will include a bouncy house, face painting and a magic show. There will also be a Halloween costume swap. Participants in the swap can bring a clean, gently used costume, and trade it for a “new to you” costume. Visitors without a costume to swap can bring a donation of canned goods for the Human Needs Food Pantry, which serves the Montclair community.
