While this year’s edition of Atlantic Antic took place on Sunday under a cool mist—compared with last year’s record 91-degree sunshine—nothing could dampen the exuberant festival’s overstimulating spirit. Brooklyn’s biggest street fair, marking its 44th anniversary, buzzed with the beat of a music festival, thanks to this year’s theme, “The Pulse of Brooklyn.”

Hundreds of vendors lined the 1.1-mile instant emporium, while thousands of fair-goers danced in the street, sampled heaping helpings of cosmopolitan cuisine, and even took advantage of free health check-ups. The Bridge was there, exploring from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue, to bring you this gallery.

The Bridge is dedicated to reporting on business in Brooklyn. Its focus is on the breakthrough companies, entrepreneurs and trends that have made Brooklyn a worldwide brand and a growing economic center.
