Something small and magical is about to take over the neighborhood.

Keep your eyes peeled, Bayside. Starting April 25th, handmade clay gnomes will be hiding in plain sight all across the neighborhood — tucked into corners, perched on stoops, and lurking where you least expect them.

Your mission? Find them. Photograph them. Share them on social media.

How It Works

During Bayside Week (April 25–May 2), we’ll post photos here of gnomes spotted around the neighborhood. Track them down in real life, snap your own photo, and upload it to the Bayside Neighborhood Association Instagram. The neighbor who finds the most gnomes wins a prize — details coming soon.

Part art project. Part neighborhood scavenger hunt. Totally Bayside.
