40th Atlantic Antic expected to draw thousands to Brooklyn
Dancing in the street on Sunday, Sept. 28
The 40th anniversary of New York City’s largest street fair, the Atlantic Antic, takes place this Sunday, Sept. 28 from noon to 6 p.m.
The Antic has marked the end of summer for more than a generation. Unlike typical Manhattan street fairs, local businesses and community groups have long put their Brooklyn-only stamp on this event. Sixpoint Brewery brews up Antic Amber, served up and down the street in sidewalk pubs, and local bands draw crowds of fans who come back year after year.
The celebration stretches along a mile of Atlantic Avenue and features hundreds of vendors, Middle Eastern belly dancers, local artists and artisans, community groups, a bus festival and food, food, food.
