Where Brooklyn at? This Sunday, it’ll mostly be on Atlantic Avenue.
That’s right, it’s time for the Atlantic Antic, the 34-year-old street festival so notorious it’s referenced in a Beastie Boys song (that would be “Shadrach,” on “Paul’s Boutique”).
As for Brooklyn’s under-4-foot contingency, it’ll be at the children’s drag complete with pony rides, face painting, puppet shows and art activities. Check out the Gumbo Stage (Atlantic Ave. bet. 3rd Ave. & Nevins) for kid-oriented live dance performances, drumming, storytelling and songs throughout the day.
Once the kids have worn themselves out, mommies and daddies will be seen throughout brownstone Brooklyn cheating their diets with baklava and pulled-pork sandwiches while catching some live music (blues, rock, belly dancing) at one of 10 stages.
So hit the streets on Sunday and fight for your right to party.
When: Sun. 10/5, 10am-6pm.
Where: Atlantic Ave. from Hicks St. to Fourth Ave., Brooklyn, atlanticave.org.
