Brooklyn’s Atlantic Ave. & 5th Ave. to become music hot spots on Tuesday
Make Music New York happening across the borough
Atlantic Avenue is pulling out all the stops on Tuesday as part of Make Music New York, the live music festival that takes place across the city on June 21, the longest day of the year.
Musical performances will take place in front of roughly 20 businesses along Atlantic, from Sahadi’s at the western end of the street to Writers Block to the east. Groups, troupes and solo performers will be playing blues, rock, pop, jazz, experimental, classical, Latin, reggae and Afrobeat tunes throughout the day and into the night.
Karen Zebulon, proprietor of GUMBO (493 Atlantic Ave.), which sells handcrafted gifts with a focus on kids, spearheaded getting many of the avenue’s merchants on board this year.
